How do you remove an installed package from ES?

fretman

Hi, I installed Hursty's Themes on ES to take a look at his themes. Now that I'm done, I would like to remove that option from my Emulation Station menu. Can someone give me some direction on how to go about doing this? I looked through the different options in ES and did not find anything. All the "Uninstall" options were for individual themes that were already installed. Is this something that can be done through the menus or is this done through command lines? Thanks.

Running Retropie version 4.7.19.

This is not part of RetroPie's list of packages - how exactly did you install it ?

@mitu, OK...was not aware of that. I had installed a few of his themes previously using the Retropie Setup options and liked them so found out that he had alot more themes so I decided to take a look at those too. I installed it from the command line using:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroHursty69/HurstyThemes/master/install.sh
chmod +x "install.sh"
./install.sh

If this was a no-no, let me know. Thanks.

Not sure why it would be a no-no, but regardless - the script installs an entry in the retropiemenu folder, that's why it shows up in EmulationStation. Remove the entry by removing the hurstytheme.sh script and it will be gone after you restart EmulationStation. Note that you should first disable the theme randomizer using the said script.
