PLG: How do I Edit or delete a PLG Template?

This guide demonstrates how you can start to use a Template and then make changes to it and then Save it as a new Template. 

Within this guide there is also a section that shows how you can delete a Template.

There is a specific guide that is dedicated to creating a brand new template and here is a link to that guide - Create a Template to be used when creating a PLG
