 * Hi,
    I’ve recently modified my style sheet and a few others I can’t remember.
   All in all I’ve completely messed it up. I’ve deleted my theme, downloaded a 
   fresh copy and reinstalled it.
 * The problem is that it keeps the same settings and I can’t get rid of it. Like
   it displays a specific colour theme which I’ve chosen previously rather than 
   the default and the same banner link I’ve uploaded is still there.
 * Does anyone know how to make wordpress think that it’s a completely new theme
   and it’s never seen it before? I would like a fresh start on my freshly installed
   theme.
 * Thanks for helping!
    -Ashley

 * Rename the theme – both the theme’s folder and the name within style.css
