template refresh not working!!

I’ve created new templates, modified existing templates, and deleted some as well yet none of these changes are updating in the templates folder.

  • Yes, I’ve “refreshed” in Template
    Manager
  • Yes, I’ve specified the proper Path
  • Yes, I’ve deleted the User Profile
  • Yes, I’ve deleted groupuinames.xml

I’m running the following:
Version: 5.1.3.2
Build ID: 644e4637d1d8544fd9f56425bd6cec110e49301b
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.5; UI Render: default;
Locale: de-CH (en.UTF-8)

This has been an on-going issue for a couple of years now. I’m now at the point where this situation is becoming unacceptable. Can somebody please shed some light?
