1. Open Template Manager (Crtl+Shift+N) 2. Create a new category (Settings-New Category) (so that you can delete it) 3. Delete the new category (Settings-Delete Category) (Because of bug 132042, you may need Settings-Refresh, between steps 2 and 3) Result: "Do you want to delete the selected folders?" Problems: 1. afaict - only possible to delete one category (i.e., could not find a way to select more than one in the dialog) => "selected folder" (or is this a bug? i.e., should be able to select more than one?) 2. While it is true that the category is implemented as a directory (folder) on the backend, from the user's front end (even with the new listview), these directories are presented as "Categories" => "folders" --> "category" Change is needed here: https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/include/sfx2/strings.hrc?r=b6c69a02#73
