I have a button to Delete Row. All of the data columns in the row get deleted except for the hard-coded items in the template field. So, I have things like "Your Name: " remaining in a template column causing the full row not to be deleted. Any ideas appreciated.

Are you actually using the delete row action or are you using a set column action that clears each individual column?
