    Hey!
    I am new to using wordpress and have been coming across a problem.
    I recently download a few themes and I also FTP a theme into the folder. I am trying to uninstall a theme and all its settings that I've done. So I went to appearance, themes, uninstall, done! Now I wanted to re-install that theme again (Because of lost/deleted information from experimenting) but when I FTP the theme back into the proper folder, went to wordpress and activated. For some reason is kept all my information from last time. I didn't want that! I wanted to start from scratch again
    How to fix it ?

    Seems weird. You are referring to "delete" as "uninstall" right? Try deleting the theme folder through FTP and again upload the theme through Admin Panel.

    Yes, please specify what you mean. If you are speaking of posts, etc. then you need to delete those separately. If you edited the theme, then deleted the files and reuploaded the theme, it should go back to the default as the code isn't changed on the original files. I've been working with WP for about 4 years so just let me know if you need further help.

    As long as you have removed the theme, you shouldn't have this issue. You can also rename the theme folder and reupload it under a new theme name.

    Hope that helps!
