i was trying to install the xsltsearch package when i got an error telling me i had conflicting templates. two of my templates are called 'competition'. now i dont know why this has happened but there is only one template in the actual project when i look in visual studio so it must be something funny going on in the database. when i try to delete one of the templates in umbraco its shows a 'deleting' status next to the template i am deleting but this never actually deletes. if i reload the nodes the template is still there! Any ideas how i can do this. i didnt want to go messing around with the db.
You might try to go into the database to change it. It's something I would avoid until I have no other option... but I've done those things before. Just fire up your SQL management studio and open the table for changes; or if you're used to SQL write the correct query to do it.
cannot delete template in umbraco

Had the same problem and i were allowed to delete my template after i renamed it to something unique
only problem is i keep getting 'error whilst saving' when i try to save.

/HFS
It's the "alias" field in the "cmsTemplate" table you'll need to adjust.
