  I have a WordPress website built using a non-WordPress theme. I am needing to upgrade this theme but am not able as the WordPress dashboard does not have provisions for deactivating it. Is there a means it can either be deactivated or removed so the theme can be updated? If it is to be removed, will I need to reset the website files?
