It seems the template id required to delete the sandbox is not present.
I think its because, the sandboxes variable sandboxes.RECENT_SANDBOXES does not contain template data.

Research direction

Start from the Recent page and the delete action in its right-click menu, then inspect how sandboxes.RECENT_SANDBOXES supplies data for template sandboxes. Reproduce the failure with a template sandbox and use the developer-tools error to trace the missing template id. Done means a template sandbox can be deleted from Recent without an error.
