To remove device templates, you have to manually delete them in the \devicetemplates sub folder of your PRTG program directory.

Once they're created, device templates cannot be changed. The only way to change them would be editing the ODT files in a text editor (it's XML).

Please be aware that if you apply a new device template to an existing device, all sensors in the device template will be re-added to the device, including sensors that already exist on this device. This is because with every new device template, new (internal) IDs (not visible to the user) are defined for every sensor.
