# Removing Old Theme

 * Hello,
    I’ve seen a few other posts regarding this issue but none of the solutions
   seem to work for me.
 * Here is my issue:
    The old WP theme that I had installed will not go away after
   I install the new theme. I have even deleted all of the old images and text as
   well as the former theme (and it’s child). But, when I look at my site (when 
   I am not logged into WP) it still shows the old theme and the text that I thought
   I had deleted (???) -although the images are gone.
 * Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I can overcome this problem?

 * Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be
   able to offer much in the way of assistance.

 * I’ve seen a few folks suggesting to “clear the cache” and de-activate the plugin,
   etc. But I did not have the WP Super Cache plugin activated to begin with … ???
 * Also, how would I go about “clearing the cache”?

 * You are using a caching plugin and you need to follow the plugin’s instructions
   for either deactivating it or flushing the cache.

 * Thanks esmi.
 * Well, that is the issue. The WP-Super-Cache is not even activated. (I guess it
   was activated way back last year at some point and it just retained all of the
   info, etc.? I don’t recall.)
 * Of course, my next question is: How do I go about emptying or “flushing” the 
   cache?

 * Boom!
    There it is.
 * I just went in, re-activated the WP-Super-Cache, went into the “settings” link
   of the plug-in, clicked the “delete cache”, then I deleted the plug-in altogether.-
   Which was ok anyways since this plug-in was outdated anyways.
 * Thanks again esmi.
