this should not work for templates that were installed by rpm.
you will have to use "rpm -e qubes-template-fedora-23" (or similar).
this will also require you clean up anything depending on these
templates first, like switching all VMs using them to something else,
removing related dvm templates ...
i recommend to keep your one-generation-outdated mainline-template
around (even if it is EOL) if you can spare the diskspace.
if you manage to wreck your new mainline template some way, it is
easier to recover from that with an outdated than with no template.

you will have to use "rpm -e qubes-template-fedora-23" (or similar).I'm a new user of Qubes OS. - I started to use it only with R4.0.Does any of the above concern me?this will also require you clean up anything depending on these
templates first, like switching all VMs using them to something else,
removing related dvm templates ...
I'm aware/ took care of that/ already. - This is why I referred to 'remove old & **** unused **** Template VMs'.

around (even if it is EOL) if you can spare the diskspace.
if you manage to wreck your new mainline template some way, it is
easier to recover from that with an outdated than with no template.This advice of yours I don't fully understand - but - I'll defer it to another message.
