Deleting themes

By using both the Outline and Project Explorer views, you can delete a theme and its artifacts from a portal project.

Note: Before you delete a theme, you should make sure you know its exact folder name. This information is available in the Resource Root field of the theme's Properties view. Once you delete a theme, you cannot reverse the operation.
