  I am setting up a site on wordpress.com and have installed various themes before deciding on 2024. I now want to delete the themes I am not using but I can only see the option to activate the other themes but not delete. I have tried loooking at theme details but there is no option to delete the theme under that.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If you want to delete a theme you have uploaded, a guide can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/themes/delete-a-theme/#delete-a-theme-you-uploaded
  
  If you have been using the WordPress.com themes, these don’t take up any storage space and you are just seeing the previously used themes. This is from the link above:

  “Themes provided by WordPress.com do not have a delete option because they are not stored on your site. Therefore, they do not take up storage space or present any security risk, which are common reasons to delete a theme from a self-hosted WordPress site.”

  Hopefully this helps :)
