How to fix a theme with page.php Default Template that accidentally deleted?

Since this is a custom theme I can only guess what’s going on.

Possible answers to Question 1:

  1. make sure that it’s your custom theme that’s activated

  2. make sure that all your theme files
    have the right Template Name. The
    template name is what shows up in
    the drop-down list. If you have
    duplicates or the wrong ones then
    you’ll get an unexpected list.

Answer to Question 2:
I don’t think you can remove “Default Template”. “Default Template” tells to WordPress to use page.php. if that’s not present then use index.php.

Another possibility is that one of your templates files has a Template Name of “Default Template”. it’s silly i know, but it’s possible. That would definitely make you see double.
