- How to remove Custom Office Templates folder. The custom office templates folder can annoyingly keep coming back even after you delete it from your Documents folder. It'll appear after saving a Word Doc, Excel Doc, or PowerPoint. I don't use it, and most people probably don't either. The best solution I could find to get rid of it was just to move it to another file location. Out of sight, out of mind.

Exactly what I needed, thank you. Google searches turned up useless for some reason
Legend - thank you SO much for this!
Thank you for this.
Thanks!
This stupid folder has been manually deleted by me SO MANY TIMES and there has never once in years been any files in it. Microsoft is so stupid.
Yeah, it got too annoying for me to the point I had to find a solution to remove it or at least hide it. It wasn't very straightforward online about the solution, so I wanted to share what I found out so that other people can get this annoyance out of their way.
Excellent, thank you
I was looking for just that because it bothered me all the time that this folder kept appearing in the documents folder and empty, I would like to know if you know how to not record anything in the documents folder in the Steam and Origin games that are creating save or configuration folders precisely in the documents folder that I want to leave clean with nothing.
Hello, Augusto. Thanks for the question. I also have Steam so I get the game save folder showing up as well in my Documents folder. I researched to see if that folder could be redirected as well, but unfortunately, that is not an option through Steam or Origin. However, I did find another workaround method that can hide that folder (and any other folder you would like to not see cluttering the Documents folder). I just posted a video on it:

noooooooooooo i cannot do it, because its 2013
There is still another way to hide the folder if you'd like. Check out my other video about hiding Windows folders: ua-cam.com/video/RJ77QxUhWhU/v-deo.html
This isn't useful - I want to save it in the folder I have navigated to, not be redirected to a 'Templates' folder.
I'm not sure I understand... could you clarify? Are you trying to actually use the "Custom Office Templates"? This video is meant to show how to hide this folder in case you don't want to see it appearing in the Documents folder anymore (Microsoft decided to have it generate there by default, but I never use it).
@@Electriangle I want to save it in the folder I have navigated to, not be redirected to a 'Templates' folder. As in, when I click 'save as' then change the format to 'template', Explorer should stay in the folder I've navigated to.
@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers I see what you are saying now. I tried to find a way, but I don't think that it is possible to change that. Since Word references a single location point for all the custom office templates (the "Default personal templates location"), it appears they decided to build it in the source code for the file explorer to jump to that location by default.
@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm trying to do a batch of changing Word Docs to Templates, it's annoying me that I have to find their original folders again each time!
@@helencockburn9661 No, sorry. Let me know if you find a solution.
