I've got the steps and screenshots so you can delete the invoice templates in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2020, @farmerbookkeeper. 

 

Fiat Lux - ASIA is correct. Let's go to the Templates list to achieve your goal, and I'm here to guide you how. 

  1. Go to Lists from the top menu.
  2. Select Templates. 
  3. Right-click the invoice template you want to delete.
  4. Choose Delete Template.
  5. Click OK to confirm the deletion. 
  6. Repeat the process for your other templates. 

 

The screenshots below show you the first to fifth steps. 

 

 

Also, I'd suggest visiting this website: Use and Customize Form Templates. This link provides you steps on how to duplicate, export, import, and manage your form templates in the program. 

 

I'm just a comment away if you need anything else. Have a great rest of your day, @farmerbookkeeper.

I'm actually using QB desktop 2023 but it will not let me delete a template.  I receive a message telling me I have to make it inactive, which I did.  The problem is that when I print the invoice, it continually defaults to the inactive template which I made inactive.??? Can you help?
