DELETE
Delete template
Nexrender Cloud allows you to delete templates that are no longer needed. This is useful for:
  • Removing test or temporary assets
  • Cleaning up deprecated campaign templates
  • Managing storage usage in your account

When Should You Delete a Template?

You might want to delete a template when:
  • It has been replaced by a newer version
  • It was used for testing and is no longer relevant
  • You’re cleaning up automation clutter in your account
Deleting a template does not affect existing jobs that already used it. Those jobs remain in the system and their output remains accessible.

What Happens After Deletion?

If you attempt to reference a deleted template in a job request, you’ll receive a 404 Template Not Found.

Edge Cases & Notes

  • You cannot delete a template while it’s actively rendering.
  • If a template is in awaiting_upload, you can delete it immediately.
  • Deletion is immediate and irreversible — no soft-delete or recovery options.
  • You can safely delete templates that had webhook or font dependencies — those are not linked permanently.

Suggested Practice

To keep things clean:
  • Delete unused templates after testing flows
  • Use versioned displayNames so you know what’s safe to remove
  • Add deletion as part of your CI teardown if you’re creating templates dynamically.
