  Hi there,

  A premium theme should be transferred to another blog or removed from blog. It can’t be deleted along with site.
  Only staff can remove the theme for you.

  I’ll add modlook tag in sidebar for staff assistance in this matter.

  Once the theme is removed, you can delete the site.

  Note:
  Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below before doing so.

  You can instead empty your site if you wish to have the domain name in future

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there,

  I can remove the theme for you, but you own the theme indefinitely – so I would recommend you to set your site to private in case you ever want to use the theme again for another site.

  Otherwise, I’d be happy to remove the theme for you so you can proceed with the deletion of the site.

  Let me know, thanks!
