Cannot Delete a VM Template through CLI or XE

Cannot Delete a VM Template
Here's the backstory, I created a few vm's (Home Assistant) by importing vmdk's, eventually these became templates these didn't work out so I decided to scrap everything, and reimport and deleting everything. In the process of deleting 2 templates remain and cannot be deleted. Both of my servers have the storage located on an NFS server.
When I try through XE I get the following results:
vm.delete { "id": "39bf95ba-1f92-4a54-1c14-d9d800ceca30" } { "code": 5, "data": { "operation": "destroy is blocked: protected from accidental deletion" }, "message": "forbidden operation: destroy is blocked: protected from accidental deletion", "name": "XoError", "stack": "XoError: forbidden operation: destroy is blocked: protected from accidental deletion at factory (/opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202209030304/packages/xo-common/api-errors.js:26:11) at Xapi.destroy (/opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202209030304/@xen-orchestra/xapi/vm.js:347:13) at Api.#callApiMethod (file:///opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202209030304/packages/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/api.mjs:394:20)"and

@DCT said in Cannot Delete a VM Template through CLI or XE:
xe template-param-clear uuid=39bf95ba-1f92-4a54-1c14-d9d800ceca30 param-name=is-a-template
Try this instead --
xe template-param-set is-a-template=false uuid=39bf95ba-1f92-4a54-1c14-d9d800ceca30Then try to access the VM in XO and disable the
Protect from accidental deletionoption. Hopefully you will be able to delete it once that's done. -
This result worked!!!
Thank you very much!! -
