Click the image below to see a short video of the removal of an unwanted ‘Recent Template’ shown in the File > Home screen in normal circumstances via the Registry.
My example uses an unwanted Template called ‘Template to remove’
The Registry path to the Recent Template entry can be accessed quickly, by copying the text below in the Code box:
Code:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Recent Templates
. . . . and then opening the Registry and pasting it into the Registry address bar, then pressing the Enter key.
You may want to back up (Export) the Recent Templates Reg entry by r/clicking it first as a precaution. It will be saved in Documents by default but you can chose any location of your choice. I have shown the Export process in the video.
