WINUP-Theme Folder Remains After Uninstall

If you are attempting to remove a Desktop Theme by double-clicking the Desktop Themes icon in Control Panel, choosing the theme and then clicking Delete, you may notice that the Theme folder is not removed from the Plus! folder in the Program Files directory.

This is by design. Manually deleting a Desktop Theme may remove files that are used by other applications.

For example: If you have a Word document that is using a specific font that was also used by the theme you deleted, that Word document will not be viewable. Fonts, sounds, and mouse pointers may be removed even if they were installed with a program other than Desktop Themes.

If you have tried the steps above and are still unable to view or download components from the Windows Update site, you can submit a Windows Update Support Request by following these steps:

1. Go to the Windows Update site at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) .
2. In the left pane under See Also, click Support Information.
3. In the right pane under Support Information, click Submit Windows Update Support Request.
4. Follow the instructions provided to submit your question.
