remove a theme

[ehren8879]

I installed the Green, Light and Matei themes via the opkg install (SSH). Now that I have tried them and chosen to stick with Matei's, I'd like to remove the green and light theme to minimize clutter.

I tried "opkg remove plugin-..." but this didn't remove it form the theme manager in the gui. I could still select the theme, but it applied a broken looking UI.

The next thing I was going to try was delete each respective theme directory in www/themes/... but I'm hesitant if this is the wrong way to go about it?

I'd like to properly remove a downloaded theme and make it vanish from the theme manager ui. Thanks for your help.

Download WinSCP or Putty in and use root

Goto this directory: /www/themes/

Use WinSCP to delete the theme folders you don't want

Or use rm to remove the folders

Then reboot the router - that should be all you need to do.

Thanks.

I was getting ready to remove the respective themes folders, but was hesitant to proceed when I got the "non empty directory" warning.

I'll proceed and report back

This did work. Kept getting segmentation faults when removing the contents of the Green Theme which would lock up my command line. Had to reconnect my SSH and initiate a reboot to get back at the themes directory. Weird.

But it worked. Thanks for the info.
