If I uninstall/reinstall a templatevm, will that mess up the files/filesystem of the appvm?

Probably a dumb question but I figured I would clarify before I uninstall/reinstall to free space, since last I checked you can't really delete stuff out of template vms

It will not, the files will stay as they are although the appvm will not
boot and you would have to mount the private storage file .img to be
able to read it - unless you assign another template VM.

"qvm-trim-template" ran in dom0 (not root) will trim the templatevm
filesystem and get your space back.
