    Unable to delete a theme in windows 10


    Hello

    I have searched help in google and I found some steps to delete the theme but I can't delete it in windows 10, I followed the steps through control panel then click on appearance and personalization on the left it doesn't show appearance on right as it should like the search result ?!

    also when I do right click on the theme it shows delete over it but Inactive !?

    one more thing, when I go through settings - themes, there is no theme settings ?!

    please tell me why since I have administrator account ?


    Thanks in advance

    :)

    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.

    Unable to delete a theme in windows 10

    Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.
