 * Hi.
 * I messed up some coding in a theme I was using. So I did delete it, then I was
   going to reinstall it. But…:
 * When I tried to reinstall it, it says that the file alread exist, where do I 
   go to delete it? 🙂

 * Hi..
 * First check whether the theme has been deleted from your database or not.
 * If the theme is not present in your database then try to search it from your 
   local machine.
 * If you not found it there then rename the theme and reinstall it.
