# Remove broken theme

 * I upgraded to 3.4.1. Then I saw that my Theme was broken – missing template. 
   I cannot remove it nor re-install it as it says it is already installed. I have
   tried to remove by ftp but it is still stuck there. I have even removed all mention
   of it in the database using phpmyadmin but it is still stuck there. Deleting 
   cache has not helped. I see many other people have had this problem and cannot
   find a solution. So my site has now defaulted to twentyeleven which I do not 
   like or want. Anybody got the answer? Thank you for any help.

 * Strange. You weren’t able to use the uninstall option in the Dashboard?

 * I don’t see anu uninstall option in the Dashboard. In the Themes section, I only
   see “Broken Theme” with no facility to uninstall, re-install or anything. If 
   I go to Install another Theme and call up the Techozoid Fluid Theme, it tells
   me it is already installed and therefore I cannot re-install it. Unless I’m missing
   something, there’s no solution I can find.
    Thanks
