Remove Custom Project Template that was Automatically Imported

Question

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

Answer 1

I was able to solve this problem for my Visual Studio Community 2017 by first deleting the template zip files in the following folders:

%UserProfile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates
%UserProfile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\My Exported Templates

Then deleting the following folder:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_aed38a72\ProjectTemplatesCache

(The identifier after "15.0_" might vary)
