We have an old site template that won't go away...

It's not in any Site Template Galleries. It doesn't show up when we do
an "stsadm -o enumtemplates" at the command line. And yet, when we
create a new site, it consistently shows up in the dropdown on the
Template Selection page within all site collections. If we select it,
we get a "file not found" error.

We have done an IISRESET. And I've cleared my browser cache and set
"check for newer versions of stored pages" on "every visit to the
page".

Ideas, anyone?

Figured out how to fix this:

Went into
\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\XM=ADL
and edited a WebTempxxx.XML file, where there was still a reference to
this old site template. I set the Hidden parameter to "FALSE" and it
now no longer appears on dropdown lists.

Could someone explain to me whether this is a cleanup activity that is
normally required, or should the XML file be automatically cleaned up
by another deletion process?

Whoops, I meant I set the "Hidden" parameter to "TRUE". I had to do an
IISRESET too, of course...
