How to delete gnome 3.4 themes in Ubuntu 12.04

Question

I want to see if I can delete all themes and fix the Notification I have. I have deleted the PPA's, but the themes are still in Gnome Tweak. Where are themes located so I can remove them? Thanks.

Answer 1

Themes are normally located at:

If installed via PPA:

/usr/share/themes/

If installed locally:

~/.themes/

---

Removing themes:

PPA ones:

sudo apt-get remove <theme_package_name>

Local ones:

rm -rf ~/.themes/*

Don't forget to set your GTK theme to the default first, otherwise your current session might go nuts :)

Answer 2

They should be in /usr/share/themes, but if you installed them via ppa you shouldn't just remove the Folders but remove the packages with Software Center or apt-get!

Answer 3

Themes can be in two folders depending on how you installed them

First it is here

/usr/share/themes

Second is here

.Themes

Which is located in your Home file , please click Ctrl+H or Show Hidden Folders from View Menu.

But please take a caution while deleting the Default Installed themes Packed by Ubuntu.
