    If you want to remove templates from both Pages and Posts, you will need to also use the `theme_post_templates` in addition to the `theme_page_templates` filter.

    /* Remove parent theme page templates */

function child_remove_page_templates( $page_templates ) {
  unset( $page_templates['template-cover.php'] );
  unset( $page_templates['template-full-width-cover.php'] );
  unset( $page_templates['template-full-width-only-content.php'] );
  unset( $page_templates['template-full-width.php'] );
  unset( $page_templates['template-only-content.php'] );

  return $page_templates;
}
add_filter( 'theme_page_templates', 'child_remove_page_templates' );
add_filter( 'theme_post_templates', 'child_remove_page_templates' );

    Filter page templates by blog id

    Suppose you have the blog `Food` with the id 2 and the template `page-food.php` which should only be used for this blog. The example below removes the page template from dropdowns of other blogs:

    /**
 * Filter the theme page templates.
 *
 * @param array    $page_templates Page templates.
 * @param WP_Theme $this           WP_Theme instance.
 * @param WP_Post  $post           The post being edited, provided for context, or null.
 * @return array (Maybe) modified page templates array.
 */
function wpdocs_filter_theme_page_templates( $page_templates, $this, $post ) {
	$current_blog_id = get_current_blog_id();
	$food_blog_id    = 2;

	if ( $current_blog_id != $food_blog_id ) {
		if ( isset( $page_templates['page-food.php'] ) ) {
			unset( $page_templates['page-food.php'] );
		}
	}
	return $page_templates;
}
add_filter( 'theme_page_templates', 'wpdocs_filter_theme_page_templates', 20, 3 );
