One step omitted from this process.
Make sure that the theme you are deleting is NOT active.
The active theme cannot be deleted via right-click
THE most important step was left out. I was just about to comment an say that this was useless information and still is until this page is updated and does not rely on user input to be correct. I should not have to troll through comments to get the correct answer.
this didnt work until i came to this site
Didn’t work for me. I just downloaded a few themes from the ‘Get more themese online’ link in Control Panel. Upon reviewing some pictures I have a couple I’d like to remove, and I followed the steps above but do not have a delete option.
Addendum to prior comment. I exited Control Panel a few times, changed the themes a few times (back to what I’d had before I downloaded new themes, then back again to one of those new themes), and for some reason I now have the delete option that didn’t appear before. Strange.
didn’twork
i want to delete the themes that came with windows, right-click does nothing
surely there must be a widows folder containing these that i can just go to and do it from there?
and how do i customize the theme to set colors and scrollbar size and everything we used to be able to do in xp? windows 7is beginning to seem very limited to me
You cann’t delete the default set of themes in Windows 7 by using this method. You can only delete custom themes.
