It’s because you are currently using that theme. Enable another theme (twenty forteen as ex.) and remove it.

I do understand that process and each theme shown has a delete button, except the one I want to delete.
Active: Preferential Child
Preferential 1.0.2 – has a delete button
Preferential 1.1.0 – NO delete button *****
Twenty Fifteen – has a delete button
Twenty Fourteen – has a delete button
Twenty Thirteen – has a delete button
Active theme can’t be deleted.. active another theme then the delete btu will be showed

Maybe this is clearer.
Active: Preferential 1.0.2 Child
Preferential 1.0.2 – has a delete button
Preferential 1.1.0 – NO delete button *****
Twenty Fifteen – has a delete button
Twenty Fourteen – has a delete button
Twenty Thirteen – has a delete button

OK – I did what you said and now Preferential 1.0.2 Child Theme is gone!
Along with all the customization I have done!
Didn’t you backup the child theme? :O
And one thing to be clear… In your question (first message) you didn’t tell that u have a child theme so I told to remove that. And in 3rd message, you told you have a child theme and I told in forth message,
active another theme then the delete btu will be showed
.
I work with self made theme (learning yet) and didn’t work with child theme but i believe the child theme still in the folder /wp-content/themes/child-theme. something like that. give it a shot.

Yes I have a backup. But I cannot install it. The message says I need the parent theme installed first, which it is.
Let’s end this conversation. Thanks for trying…..
