I deleted the exported zip file that was placed in my exported templates folder and of course it still shows in Visual Studio's "Add New Project" dialog. I expected that but I'm having a difficult time finding where else the template files are stored. How do I remove a custom template?
Edit
I've searched the following folders (and numerous others, but these are the most obvious): %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplatesCache %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\My Exported Templates %userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates
Not sure if it matters, but I'm also using Windows 7 for my OS.

Procedure. Click Dashboard. From the Select a template page, click Custom. Click the More menu on a custom template thumbnail and click Edit or Delete.
To change a project's template: On the Quick Launch, click Projects. Click once in the row for the project you want to change, to select it. On the Projects tab, in the Project Type group, click Change.
By default, user templates are located in: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ProjectTemplates. %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Templates\ItemTemplates.
Try looking under %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ProjectTemplatesCache. This is where the unzipped cache of the template would usually be stored. If it isn't there, try searching for a folder named ProjectTemplatesCache anywhere in your user data directory.
