Can drawing templates be obsoleted?

Andrew_NethertonAndrew_Netherton Member Posts: 20 PRO
I recently made some branding changes to our drawing templates, then renamed and moved the old DWTs off to another document.  They still show up in the available templates dialogue, so I'd like to get them out of there somehow.  Instead of straight up deleting them, is it possible to set them to "obsolete" and not show in the available template dialogue?  Or is deleting them the only way?

    @Andrew_Netherton Elastic search index will find any dwt files in any of your documents and present them as valid template options.  You could download them, then re-upload them in a zip if you want to keep them -  but not have indexing find them.

    So any DWTs will be found and presented, regardless of release state?
