In the folder C:\windows\resources\themes as boohbah suggested, you are to delete two items. One is the theme folder, and the other is the windows theme file, both for the theme you want to delete.

Why not simply delete them from the selection screen (the one you showed in your pic)?
Right click on the Theme you don't want anymore and click "Delete Theme" ;)
That obviously doesn't work with the active theme, so if you want that gone make another one active first.

David, as I have experienced, this action deletes the Windows theme file only, but not the folder that contains the visual style file, languages files, etc.

Change to a different theme and then right click > delete. You can delete the files for the theme in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes ;)

Archie, I must confess that I never checked if really all files are deleted by that method. The left overs don't really hurt me or my disk space ;) So yeah in that case it's better to "pull the carped under window's feet" and delete those files in ..\Resources\. But make sure you delete the correct files! For inexperienced users my method is simply the safer one.

You are absolutely right, my friend. Usually the theme files are tiny :) And leftovers dont hamper anything. moreover, if you delete wrong files, your installed themes will be in trouble.

So, rightclicking and deleting is not a bad option at all. But it doesnt delete it completely.
