This works. Removing the template from the folder alone doesn't work. Thanks.

A bit of a time sensitive issue - I used two Christmas templates to write letters to my kids using Word 2013. However, even though I didn't save these documents and I actually deleted the templates from the C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roami<wbr />ng\Microso<wbr />ft\Templat<wbr />es folder, they still appear when I click &quot;New&quot; in Word as previews. Is there a way to prevent them from showing up in that list, so my kids don't accidentally see it?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

How do I remove the templates being previewed in Word?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
