Hi, I have same issue. I have tried to remove template fedora-32 after installing fedora-33 and changing all my app vm’s. Thru the documentation I have followed a few different commands and nothing has removed the template.
I still have the fedora-32 template in the Qube Manager.
From the documentation, I started with this:
$ sudo dnf remove qubes-template-fedora-32
It finished saying: “Complete!” and I went about my business but then I noticed the manager still had it listed.
I ran it again and noticed these errors just before it said “Complete!” :
(I can’t copy from dom0 so hand typing best I can…)

From there I tried the instructions “Can not uninstall a VM…” in VM Troubleshooting | Qubes OS
And I also tried various things in this link: Failed to Install Fedora-33-minimal Template (unexpected EOF in archive) - #4 by fepitre
I’ve tried the remove commands using “qubes-template-fedora-32” and also just “fedora-32”
When I try:
$ qvm-remove fedora-32
I get the following error:
VM fedora-32 cannot be removed. It is in use as:
'- global property default_template.
And somewhere in all my mucking about I saw a message that my dvm relied upon it.
My dvm had already been changed to use the new template, fedora-33, and I had changed the name of the dvm to fedora-33-dvm.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
