Enlighten us please for future problems?

In fact , there are two way to solve the problem,
1. delete the themes files in you mobile. you can install a software such as AppMan in your mobile and then delete the theme files that located in the directory e:\system\skins\ .
2. you also can delete it by useing card reader , but you must change your computer setting --- show all hidden files and all system files.

All you need do is select another theme first so the one you wish to remove is not in use. Then go to App manager on the phone and choose remove. Thats it.

Yes use AppManager rather than manually deleting files - it'll upset the phone if you do this.

Hi,you can delete the theme skin in Menu via Manager.Just Look at the aplication..

Use the search function and you'll find the solution,it's been discussed numerous times.

I followed the instructions from 1 post earlier in this thread for removing unwanted themes that were installed on my E65 memory card. The steps followed were from [GT] - "connect ur phone to pc select mass storage mode click on private folder open it look for folder named 10207114 click on it and then click import folder u will see the themes folders just select the one u want to delete press c thats it...wont harm the phone, as i encountered the same problem once".

This worked for removing themes that were installed on the memory card, however when I went back into the menu in my phone (after removing the data cable from PC/Phone) the themes icon was gone and now I cannot access themes or load any new ones onto the phone and I am now left with the default nokia theme that the phone came with. I cannot understand why removing themes manually from the memory card would affect the phone's themes app/icon, and I have no idea how to resolve the issue.

Please help! I would really like to resolve this asap.

Many thanks

Even i was unable to delete the themes myself.
A couple of them appeared on the Apps manager that i removed...but rest remained very much there..

A good way out is reinstall the themes you want to uninstall..Now you will find them on your Apps Manager and you an remove them from there.

I suppose the previous installation data went out of Apps Manager coz i updated my firmware..

Pretty sure this might be a way out, though it entails some unnecessary labour of reinstalling before removing the themes...

i been havin same problem workin with carbide i like to install themes on to my phone to see how they progressin thought id delete them all in one go at a later date but they not in apps manager, so now i stuck with umteen half finished themes, will try to get rid of them in the way suggested in this thread but was wonderin what is the reason for this problem is it just a simple bug.
