All things Shopify and commerce
Hello everyone,
I'm still new to Shopify. I've recently created two online store themes simultaneously to compare their designs. While switching between them, I accidentally clicked the publish button on the wrong one. After watching a few tutorials on how to unpublish a store, I tried the deactivation option, but a warning message appeared (attached). I was afraid that if I deactivated it, I might lose the other theme as well.
So, instead of deactivating it, I followed the other solution, which is to restrict access using password protection. But today I removed all the website content to be in safe side.
As the theme is not my preferable one. My question is: if I deactivate the wrongly published theme, will it also deactivate the correct one?
Also, if deactivating won't affect the other one, can I then delete it from Shopify?
Thank you so much for your kind help!

Hi @MooseDesk,
I can't thank you enough for your detailed response and clear explanation; it's incredibly helpful. Also, thanks for recommending MooseDesk,I'll definitely check it out.
After following the steps and deactivating the wrongly published theme, unfortunately, I lost both themes. I was trying to figure out what went wrong, and I realized that my question wasn't entirely accurate. What I actually did was duplicating the same theme, not creating two different ones, which might be the reason I lost both.
Now, when I sign in to Shopify, a pop-up appears prompting me to select a plan (it says I have 3 days left in my trial, ending on 9 October, with an offer for the first month at $1). I got confused because I had already been working under a plan.
Additionally, when I click on "My Store" and select "All Stores" from the drop-down menu, I see both active and inactive stores. Under "Active," I see my store, but it's empty. Under "Inactive," I see three stores, all with the same name but with different website links.
I'm not sure what went wrong, but it seems I’ve mixed up a lot of things while I was exploring Shopify.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much indeed for your kind help.
