How can I remove or change an active theme on a website?

[mellex]

Hello hive mind:
Working on a site for someone. They had someone else (or one of them) toying with it a while ago and there is an "active" theme already that I hated. (If it's active does it mean they hit "publish"? Which is weird cuz they were just playing with the theme).

I went in and chose a new theme and have been customizing it. But I'd like that existing/active theme to be removed. I don't see a way to do that. Is there a way? (the three dots by the them don't include a delete or remove or something similar)

TIA!

Hi @mellex 

Yes, they published the theme to make it active. You can delete the theme, by replacing it with other theme, then delete the theme when it is not active.

You cannot delete the actime theme. However we can make other theme active and delete all the unnecessary themes.

Hi, @mellex 

Thanks for posting. I hope your day is going well!

To remove this theme, simply publish a new theme in its place. Once a new theme is published the current active theme will revert to the theme library where you can delete it.

If you have anymore questions please let us know!
