Sometimes XenServer doesn’t allow you to delete templates from the XenCenter GUI or even the CLI. Here is how to delete templates from the CLI in three steps:
- Tell XenServer the template is not a default template
- Convert the template to a VM
- Delete the VM
xe template-param-set other-config:default_template=false uuid=[uuid] xe template-param-set is-a-template=false uuid=[uuid] xe vm-destroy uuid=[uuid]
where [uuid] is the UUID of the template you want to delete.

April 15, 2013 at 8:55pmthanks, just to noted that right after I have I ran “xe template-param-set is-a-template=false uuid=” My vms started with yellow sign, then I had to run “xe-toolstack-restart” then I was able to delete them vms from xencetner.
