In the past I have always worked from my templates. Now I am in a

articulation etc, and keep all the changed settings.
So what is the best way to work with existing files as new templates? I
deleted all the music, but then realized that other things like measure
number regions, bookmarks etc stay intact.
What else do I have to delete to get a "clean" file? Or would it be
better to just import every thing into the orginal template each time?

What I would do in your situation would be to delete all measures except
the first one. That should eliminate all the measure number regions and
the bookmarks. Then I would clear the first measure of all entries.
Then I would add a lot of empty measures -- I find it easier on my
brain if there are a lot of empty measures and frequently add measures
to get the total I will need before I start entering the music. I also
define measure number regions for the new work so I can more easily tell
if I'm entering the correct music in the correct measures.
But if you want to then save your newly emptied file as a new template
for other uses as well, I would simply add a few empty measures and then
save it.
