BUMP!
Here we are nearing 2020 and this much needed feature is still missing?
Are you tired yet? 
I second Markās first opinion.
I would love to have that feature in Cubase.

But it has to be an option and Iād be fine if default was ādonāt save mediaā with template files.
So almost 10 years later and this was never implemented. I am very disappointing to say the least as I have previously had the problem of the OP with making a new project from a template and accidentally deleting all of my data. IMO it is extremely frustrating how Cubase handles this media data for templates and shouldnāt be included at all when saving, or only as an option.

Hi! 12 years now. Almost officially a teenager!
Itās unbelievable isnt it. My only workaround when tracking a band or drums since Import Tracks From Project was implemented is to start the project as blank or minimal and then import from the first song setup.
Thats not the same though and is a hack
Any news on this topic? Iād love to have a simple without events option and see that a template is saved the same way a track preset is done.

Hello Other Save a Template Without Media Thread!
Will Cubase 13 support this feature?

All the work arounds are messy. So much easier just to implement this.

And time consuming
One can assume that, after 14 years, Steinberg isnāt particularly focused on this āfeature requestā.
Its pretty unbelievable.
Maybe not enough people have requested this. Just to save 15 seconds?
Not 15 seconds for me. If I have to save a project to a new temporary folder, then load it (can take 3 minutes if its big). Delete everything and delete the pool. Then SAVE AS TEMPLATE.
. Close the project.
