  Hi,

  I want to delete a WordPress theme so I can just work in text without any design distractions.

  I go to Appearance-Themes in the Dashboard but can’t find the delete option. can you help?

  Hi there,

  I don’t believe you can have a site without a theme completely. You can customise your theme by going to My Site > Design > Customise and you will have more freedom with this if you have a paid plan (check out https://wordpress.com/support/plan-features for more).
  For me, although the Customiser shows what the site actually looks like, just going to My Site > Site > Pages/Posts means editing is fairly distraction-free anyway.

  I hope this helps!
