If you compose or arrange regularly for a particular music ensemble, you might find yourself setting up scores using the same group of instruments over and over again. To save time, you can set up score templates in Sibelius which will appear in the list of ensembles in the New Score Wizard.
To find out how, take a look at this video:
If you ever need to delete or rename a manuscript template you can do so by heading to a folder called Manuscript Paper which is located in Sibelius’s application data folder. Here are the locations of that folder (which differs depending on which operating system you’re working with):
Windows Vista: C:UsersusernameApplication DataSibelius SoftwareSibelius 6
Windows XP: C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataSibelius SoftwareSibelius 6
Mac: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Sibelius Software/Sibelius 6

Thanks Katie for your always-useful tips!
You’re welcome Henry!
So can you please show me step by step how to delete a manuscript that I placed by mistake. I’ve tried everything. Please advise and many thanks indeed.

Yes those files are a little hidden and difficult to delete unless you know where they are located on your computer (you can’t delete them from within Sibelius itself). Here’s an article with the steps (scroll down to the lower part of the page).
