    Proper way to Uninstall/Remove Themes?


    Hello there everyone, I have been downloading every theme/gadget available now for the last two days. So, I have alot. However, once the are installed (copy-pasted into Windows/Resources/Themes folder) I can not remove the ones that I am not thrilled with. Does someone know a way to do this properly?
    Do I have to unpatch then remove? End a certain process, I would really like a step by step, so I can retain this info and help friends in the future. Thanks...

    Right click on your desktop, navigate to personalize. Then browse to theme you want to delete, right click on it then click "Delete theme". :) View attachment below.

    D3ftOn3Z, I do appreciate the help, However-it does not remove the files from Windows/Resources/Themes folder. My apologies I re-read my post and I did not make that clear enough. I would like them to be removed from the folder as well.
    So, while I am testing the Themes, I can only keep the ones I want, and keep the System (folders) as clean as possible.
    Thanks....:)

    Also, what is the one you are currently using in the snap-shot?
    Where can I get it? Please...

    If you want to uninstall the themes via windows/resources/themes folder. Make sure the one you want to delete is not in use. :) The theme i'm using now is created by MrGRiM. It's called "Midnight Glass". You can it get from the link below. Enjoy. Don't forget to say thanks to him. :)

    Thanks, You helped me out, I wasn't using the actual theme that I was trying to delete, but because it was using a piece of it, I could not delete it.
    Some have backgrounds some don't and other misc. data Borders etc... So, I went to a windows default theme (nature) and was able to delete them entirely. I thank you, and will be sure to thank MrGRiM as well.
