Removing themes

You can remove a theme from your online store within the Themes page in your Shopify admin. Removing a theme is a permanent action. If you want to remove a theme but still be able to access it in the future, then you can download it instead.

You can add up to 20 themes to your online store. If you already have 20 themes, then you can remove themes to make room for more.
