There are a few ways to do this...at least tried and proven in Nuke 7.4 and below. I just came across this:

CNB_Your_Account_750_421

Just a quick point, deleting those themes can and probably will lock out all users from your site who may be currently using a theme that you remove.

You should use phpmyadmin and change anyone's theme from ones that you may be deleting.

Nice one!

That'll come in handy after Hallowe'en!

Thanks for the input. The site is just getting started, no members yet. Delaeted extra themes, Worked fine.

I've found an easier way to remove them is not to remove them, simply make them hidden.

In Windows, Rt Click> Properties, click appropriate check box.
In Linux or Unix, rename Theme to .Theme (note the . in front of the theme name)

If the theme is hidden, then the webserver can't see it. Therefore, the user can't see it to select it.

Nice tip!

You know I usually rename the original files when I do heavy editing (preserving the originals on the server) and I never thought of doing this, thanks and welcome to Codezwiz.
