Not being able to delete a template that is unused sounds illogical but maybe it is possible if it is used by a 'phantom' source, i.e., one that supports a now non-existing person, family or event. Such a source would not be output in any report on a person but a simple test for sources that use a template would not also check to confirm that the source itself is used.

Apparently both templates are being used. There is no way to find out where each is being used, is there? I think I can live with 2 source templates, each being duplicated only once, though I think it would be nice to be able to merge them. It's better than having some duplicated 10 times. I won't drag and drop again. Thanks for all the help!

I have not followed this closely, so I may be repeating. Is this template in the source list? If it is -- Lists - Source list -- highlight the name of the source and click on Print at the top. A box will come up and you can choose Print a single source and check what you want it to print. Click on generate report and you should see where the source is being used.
