Can You Delete Themes in WordPress?

Yes, you can delete themes in WordPress. However, before you do, it’s important to understand how themes work in WordPress. A theme is a collection of files (CSS, images, and JavaScript) that tells WordPress how to look and feel.

When you install a theme, WordPress automatically downloads and installs the theme files. You can also install a theme manually by downloading the files and copying them to the WordPress directory.

To delete a theme, first you need to find the theme files. To do this, go to the WordPress admin panel and click the Themes tab. Then, click the name of the theme you want to delete.

In the Themes screen, you’ll see a list of files and folders. The files and folders in this list are the theme’s files and folders.

To delete a theme, click the file or folder that you want to delete. WordPress will ask you to confirm that you want to delete the file or folder.

Click Yes to delete the file or Yes to confirm the deletion.

After you delete a theme, WordPress won’t use that theme anymore. If you want to use a different theme, you’ll have to install it from the WordPress theme repository.

To find the theme repository, go to the WordPress admin panel and click the Themes tab. Then, click the Themes repository link to open the Themes repository screen.
