In this post, I will show you two methods of deleting or uninstalling a theme on your WordPress website.

How to delete a theme on WordPress: Method 1- WordPress backend
Step 1: Deactivate the theme
For this tutorial, we will be uninstalling the Divi theme. First, you will want to deactivate your theme. I want to point out that you cannot delete active themes. If you look at the image below, you will notice that there is no delete button on my current active theme. However, if we click on a different theme, we can delete it. That’s because one is active and one is not. If we want to delete the 2019 theme, we must click activate on a different theme.

Step 2: Click delete
After you activate a different theme than the one you want to delete, the delete button will appear, just click on that button, and that’s it. Your theme is now deleted.

How to delete a theme on WordPress: Method 2 – WordPress theme files
Step 1: Find your site’s files
If you’re using Local, like I am, you’ll know that your websites are located on the local sites folder. If you are not using local, navigate to wherever your server saves your site’s files and keep digging until you find your site’s themes folder.

Step 2: Navigate to your themes folder
This will work similarly whether you’re using a WordPress installation on your local computer or a server.

Go to the public folder, then the WP content folder. You’ll be presented with plugins, themes, upgrades, and uploads. We want to check inside the themes folder.

While inside the themes folder, take this theme that you don’t want, and drag it to the trash. When you refresh, the theme will be gone.

I don’t recommend deleting themes this way because I can’t guarantee that deleting them from the dashboard is supposed to trigger something important. Still, if you’re having issues with your site and you can’t access the appearance tab, there’s a chance that deleting it right from the themes folder might help you.

What happens if you delete an active theme?
I also want to show you what happens if you delete the active themes. So I’ll throw the active theme in the trash. Now let’s refresh the page.

The active theme is false. So what does that mean? Well, if we try to access our website, you’re going to see that WordPress will default to the other theme because the active theme does not exist. So as you can see right here, it defaulted to the existing theme.

What happens if you delete all the themes?
What happens if we delete both themes and there’s no theme in the theme folder? Let’s delete both the themes and refresh the page. If we go to our website and click refresh, you’re going to see that there is no theme that exists, and it’s referencing the 2020 because that was the last one we used...
