I want to completely start over, but the themes won't let me.
-
I’ve been trying to use WordPress to redo my web page. I didn’t like what I ended up with using and customizing one theme, so I deleted everything. Now, when I try to sample a new theme, it just brings up the colors and background, but none of the layouts. They all want to grab my pages, which I have deleted. How do I just wipe the slate clean, keep my blog name, but start over?

Could you please try clearing out your browser’s cache and cookies? . What browser version are you using? do you encounter this same problem in a different browser too? For example Google Chrome or Firefox?
-
I’m using Chrome. I just cleared out my cache and cookies and it makes no difference. I get the background and my name and links, but none of the stuff that is designed into the template – text boxes, graphics, etc. I just tried with Firefox and got the same result.

Hm, that is rather strange.
Can you make sure that you have first and third-party cookies enabled?

They’re enabled. I’ve cleared cache and cookies. Here’s what happens, for example, when I try to preview “Coraline.”

Some of the theme previews may look a bit odd if you look at them while there is no content on the blog. I think the sidebars should show up though. When I tested your account, I found that I could see the default widget set in the sidebars when I previewed Coraline. Can you post a screenshot of what it looks like when you preview the Spectrum theme?

Before I created the website I deleted last night, I could preview themes and whatever was in the thumbnail popped up on my screen, with whatever info I had added in, like my site name, etc., but all the “lorem ipsem” text was still there, as were the photos, and other widgets so I could see what someone had in mind for the theme.
That’s not happening now.

Thanks. The Spectrum preview looks right to me and I can see the site title, background graphics, and even some of your previously setup widgets working in that preview. Could you try adding at least one post and then previewing and let us know if that’s more along the lines of what you were expecting to see?

Since you don’t have any content on your blog, you might want to consider previewing themes from http://theme.wordpress.com/ instead.
Each theme has “See it in Action” link which will allow to preview how the blog looks in a variety of scenarios.

Aha! macmanx, that’s the ticket. Thank you!!!!! It had been a while since I explored, and I forgot that I had checked that out first time around.
I’m done now :)
