Hi, yes that is a good way to do it. Note that if you do delete a template that is in use, it won't actually be deleted on the back-end (i.e. the database entries will remain, as will the files on secondary storage), rather it is just hidden from the end-users in the UI and API. Giving a new template the same name as a deleted one might be a bit confusing so you could consider adding a version number or date code.

The only issue I see with that so far is that we lose the linkage between instaces (VMs) and templates. Thanks Sean
