How do you remove old containers and themes no longer used? I have been using DNN for my company site for a bit over 10 years. Needless to say, my site has seen a few different hosts, themes and skins. 

I am seeing containers on the module settings advanced combo-box that no longer exist. How do I get rid of these orphans?

Thanks for your help.

Go to the Host, Extensions page and open the drop-down for Themes/Skins. You can delete installed themes/skins there. That should also get rid of the associated containers.

For Themes/Skins and Containers that weren't installed that way, just delete the folders in the portals/_default/skins and portals/_default/containers directories.

If you have Themes/Skins and Containers that were installed for a particular portal, look in the portals/xx folder for skins and containers folders.
