Deleting WordPress theme is not obvious for new users but its not difficult to do. Here are the instructions to do so in an easy way:
In WordPress admin open Appearance Menu – > Themes
If the theme that you want to delete is the active one you need to choose another one to be active. You can not delete the active theme.
Hover your mouse over the theme you want to delete and select Theme Details
When the Theme Details are opened you will see Delete button. Hit it and an confirmation dialog will appear. To delete the theme you need to confirm – hit ok.
That’s it, the theme is deleted.
Here we need to mention that there are other ways to delete unused themes – for example through FTP. In that case you need to delete the exact theme folder that is located in the themes directory /wp-content/themes/ .
Anyway if you want to experiment with WordPress you need to have a recent backup in case that something go wrong.
