Those themes are located here. C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. You will have to take ownership before you can delete. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html

If you want to delete the wallpapers also, they are here. C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper. Same deal with take ownership first if I remember correctly.

Hope this helps.

But it is OK to delete them? Also, are these just theme files that are using the default aero.msstyles?
Thanks

Yes they use the default Aero.msstyles ;)

You can just delete the files here:

Windows :ar: Resources :ar: Themes :ar: Select the theme files you want to delete.

Or you can also do a backup in case you want them back someday ;)

It's fine to delete them. It's one of my first chores when I reinstall Windows ;)
