deleting theme directories

[roshaoar]

Hi,

wasn't sure if this was better in 2.0.x support or themes... aplologies in advance, please move as appropriate.

but a quick Q: if you delete a theme using themes and layouts > theme settings > big red X button, it leaves orphan directories on the server. Is there any harm in deleting these?

thanks

if it has been removed as a valid theme from inside the admin -- no. there is no harm in deleting it.

Nop. As soon as the database entry for the theme is removed, SMF doesn't care if it's there or not.

And no, the theme management does not remove the files themselves, just the database entry (plus fixing database entries related to the removed theme)
