 * My backups are taking hours. Can I safely delete the other four themes that are
   installed in my wp-content folder under themes. I tried the Aspen theme but didnt
   like the layout for my business and it keeps giving me messages on my backup 
   saying failed.
    Can I just delete this one and the others.

 * Yes, you can safely delete deactivated themes, just make sure to keep a copy 
   of 2013 in addition to your active theme.
