How to Delete wordpress theme and its complete settings?? Help Please

2 replies
Hello warriors,
Hope you can help me, I screwed some settings from my wordpress theme, so I proceeded to uninstall it and reinstall it, but it is keeping the same information and every setting, I am desperate now =(... I need to delete the theme and the whole settings... I make sure that the theme folder was deleted from ftp as well... so I don't know what to do, does anyone knows how to completely delete every setting on the wordpress theme?
Thanks!

    Chances are your theme left a "footprint" in the WordPress database. It may have created its own table (in which case the answer is easy, just delete the table) or, more likely, it added items to the wp_options table. Removing these items will solve your problem, the trick will be identifying them.

    Whatever you do make sure to do a complete backup of your WordPress database before you attempt any surgery on it!

    Also FYI this question probably doesn't belong in the Main forum, it is more appropriate for one of the support forums where you are likely to receive much more assistance.
