I have included this in many threads but still users cannot be bothered to search so here it is in it's own thread!!!
Here is how to delete themes that aren't in the app manager *******This only works for themes on memory/sd cards******** You need to hook up your N73/N93/N95 or what ever you have to your PC via the USB and access the data transfer/mass storage mode,and you need to make sure your file explorer can view hidden folders. You'll find the theme filesin a folder named 'Private',in this folder are lots of other folders.Go to the folder named '10207114' and then eneter the folder inside called 'Import' In here are all the themes on your sd card. You have to open every folder and then look in the skn folder to find the name of the theme as the folders are named by numbers and not the theme itself,if the PC doesn't allow you to open the file then choose to open it with Notepad,then scroll across until you see the name of the theme and usually it'll say the creators name too. Once you know it's the theme you want to delete then you have to delete the whole folder including including the mbm,mif,ini and skn folders. Job done MODS can this be made sticky please? |

It only takes a while if you have alot of themes,so for me it takes ages sometimes.
But if you have say 4 or 5 themes then it wont take long at all,3-4 minutes max. |

Make sure all apps are closed and just to be sure apply one of the default themes,re-boot and try again.
I sometimes got that too on my N73. |

I've gone through what you said and have opened the folder entitled Private, I then click the folder 10207114, then I click import and then I opened one of the folders and tried opening all the files in Notepad and when I opened them all there was were random symbols. It said nothing about the author or the Theme name. Please help.
