  What is an inactive theme? If you are on WP.com you don’t need to remove anything.

  Hi Ole,

  I can see two sites on your account, one is hosted on WordPress.com, the other is not.
  To clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and they are two different entities.

  We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

  You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

  That said, on WordPress.com there is no need to remove inactive themes.
  If you need help with the WordPress.org site, it’s best to ask at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.
