Hello, I'm not using templates, and I know I should. I'm using other automated way that are working fine, but I'd like to explore templating. Before jumping in, I read this doc : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualizat... and I read contradictory informations. IIRC, I should be able to delete a template if all my templated VMs are *cloned*, and I should not be able to delete a template if some of my templated VMs are "based on/thined/tpl-snapshoted/whatever" ? Is it correct? If so, parts of the doc above are unclear. -- Nicolas ECARNOT

As far as my understanding goes, this is correct. In my environment at least, whenever as VM is created through the web UI it is cloned and I can delete the template. By default, the API doesn't seem to clone the disk, but this can be specified.
Hi Nicolas, You are right. This warning is unnecessary and should be removed. I've opened a BZ [1] to track it.
