 * Hi There,
    I am brand new to wordpress and got a bit ahead of myself and activated
   a theme before learning how to use the site! Any chance of removing this or is
   it not really an issue? I gather I can just change the theme when I find one 
   I want but just wondering if I can remove it in the mean time. Thanks!

 * hi!
    you can delete themes through your ‘file manager’ the ‘file manager’ can
   be found at your ‘control panel’ – (where you bought your web hosting).
 * in the file manager go to –
    wp-content > themes
 * there you can delete themes you don’t want.

 * yes – and in the meantime, you can change to one of the default themes like Twenty
   Fourteen
 * before using the file manager, try the methods described in [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Themes)
