# Edit a message template

Message templates customize notification messages for the contact point types.

1. In the Alerting page, click **Contact points** to open the page listing existing contact points.
1. In the Template table, find the template you want to delete, then click the **Delete** (trash icon).
1. In the confirmation dialog, click **Yes, delete** to delete the template.

Use caution when deleting a template since Grafana does not prevent you from deleting templates that are in use.
