    I can’t delete any of my themes on WordPress, there’s no Delete link on any of them. I deleted them in ftp but they are still here on WordPress. Please help me!

    Do you mean (1) you can still see theme in the back-end (admin area), (2) or, you can still see them in the front end?

    When I press appearance the 5 themes are right there. I wanted to upload a paid version of a theme I was using but to do that I would have to delete the one I already had so I got a next theme and activated it so I could delete my original theme, but it never give me the choice to delete it.

    You cannot delete an active theme (or its parent, if it’s a child theme).

    Click the non-active theme to expand it. You should then see the link to delete the theme.

    Or, access your server via FTP/ SFTP , or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/themes/ remove other themes you want deleted.
