✅ Option 1: Delete via WordPress Dashboard (Recommended)

Login to your WordPress Admin panel
yourdomain.com/wp-admin

Go to Appearance > Themes

Activate a different theme (you cannot delete an active theme)

Click on the theme you want to delete
➝ A pop-up window will open with theme details

In the bottom-right corner, click “Delete”
➝ Confirm when prompted

That’s it! The theme will be completely removed from your server.

✅ Option 2: Delete via cPanel / File Manager

Log into cPanel

Open File Manager

Go to:

Right-click the folder of the theme you want to remove

Click “Delete” (permanently or move to trash)

⚠️ Be careful not to delete your active theme or theme folder by mistake.

✅ Option 3: Delete via FTP (Advanced Users)

Connect to your site via FTP client (like FileZilla)

Navigate to:

Right-click on the unwanted theme folder

Click Delete

⚠️ Important Notes:

Always keep one default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-Four) as a fallback.

Deleting unused themes reduces clutter and improves security and site performance.
