Administration Joomla! 5.x • Where in the database are the individual module and menu item template assignments stored?

I have a new custom template, which is slightly modified copy of another custom template - which I have uninstalled and deleted - but all the modules are assigned to the same positions as in the old template and all the position names in both templates are identical.

I want to globally change all references to the old template to the new template. I thought I would be able to do this with a database query, but when I looked under the table [abcde]_modules there is no mention of the template.

Similarly for menus: For example, a menu item URL currently looks like this:

index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=[oldtemplate]:concerts&id=12

Despite the old template having been uninstalled and all its files having been double-checked that they are no longer there, they still appear in menu URLs.

but I want to change it - and many others - to:
index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=[newtemplate]:concerts&id=12

If you look in the database in phpMyAdmin under [abcde]_menu no mention is made of the template assignment.

Also, where I had created xml files in the old template for new menu item types, they are still showing under 'Articles' as options, which they shouldn't be.
