> How to delete an eBay description template from a store with Confirm template deletion: template in use, drafts and listings that use it, and errors.

At the end of this procedure the template disappears from the list in the **Templates** tab of an eBay store, for one region and supplier.

## Before you start

- Open the tab from **eBay Stores** > **Edit** > region > supplier > **Templates** ([Templates](https://docs.droopify.co/en/templates)).
- The template saved as the one in use can't be deleted: choose another one first (or **No template**) and click **Save Changes**.

## Deleting the template

1. In the **Templates** tab click the delete icon on the template.
2. **Confirm template deletion** opens with the question **Are you sure you want to delete the following template?** and the template preview: check it is the right one.
3. Click **Confirm deletion**.

To go back to the list without deleting, click the arrow next to the popup title.

## What happens next

The template is deleted right away, with no need for **Save Changes**: **eBay store changes have been saved successfully.** appears and you go back to the list.

Drafts and listings that used that template are left without a template: Droopify updates them automatically and it may take some time before all listings on eBay are updated. A deleted template can't be recovered: to use it again, create it from scratch ([Create a template](https://docs.droopify.co/en/create-template)).
