Can't uninstall themes via RetroPie menu (esthemes)

FlyingTomahawk

Running ES 2.1.5RP
RetroPie Setup 4.2.8
RPi Zero v1.3

Maybe it is just my setup but I cannot uninstall themes via RetroPie menu anymore.
Also I cannot delete the files/folders when accessing via FTP. Getting permission denied.

Let's say I have the Flat theme installed and would like to uninstall it. I access esthemes vie RetroPie menu. There it says "Update or Uninstall flat (installed)" click OK and the only thing it runs is an update. That happens for all themes. There is no uninstall option to choose.

@FlyingTomahawk I don't have access to my pi, so I can't help you with why you can't uninstall from the menu. What you can do is remove from the command line. I can't remember the exact path, but since you can browse to it in the ftp, just verify that path, I am also using my cell phone so forgive my lack of formatting:

cd /etc/supplementary/emulationstation/themes

FYI- totally making up that path from bad memeroy, please check the path and use the proper one! The rest of this is correct and the important part

sudo rm -r nameofthemefolder

The important part is sudo rm -r

That gives you permission via sudo and remove via rm and the -r allows to delete the entire directory.

Worked like a charm. Thank you.
Your path was close, this worked for me

cd /etc/emulationstation/themes
