I don't see any reason not to get rid of templates you don't want, since
there are so many of them. It won't break Scribus.
If you are using the standard installation locations, you will find the
templates inside /usr/share/scribus/templates

If you have specified your own installation directory because you
compiled Scribus on your own, they will be in
yourdirectory/share/scribus/templates

If you have any anxiety about breaking something, then copy them out to
some other place for a backup before deleting.
