Windows 10: Theme deletion

Using Windows 10 Pro v20H2.

I've deleted most of the themes (AeroLite, theme1, theme2, hc1, hc2, hcblack & hcwhite) along w/their associated files w/o any side-effects.

But I'd like to know if there will be a negative side-effects when I delete the Aero theme & all its associated files?

Deleting a theme

Hello, I'm Sheri. I'll be happy to assist you.

Here is how to delete a theme:

Step 1: Open Settings app. Click Personalization icon, and then click Themes to see all installed themes as well as default themes.

Step 2: To delete a theme, right-click on the theme tile, and then click Delete option.

Note: You cannot delete the current applied them, so you will need to apply a different theme before deleting that one.

Best wishes,

Sheri D.

I can't delete a theme on Windows 10.

One step is left out--Settings>Personalization> click on Themes in the left column>then right click on the one in your list of installed themes to delete. It will be in your recycle bin if you change your mind. Themes are not installed
on your computer until you select and install them in Get more themes in the MS Store.
