12.04 - How To - Uninstall - Plymouth Themes - Ask Ubuntu
I have been working with custom Plymouth themes and have ran into a little confusion. For a
reason unclear to me, you have to enter the following:
4
sudo update-alternatives --install /lib/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth
default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/THEMENAME/THEMENAME.plymouth 100
Command to recognize your theme and then run the initramfs update.
My question is.. what is the SAFE way to uninstall (delete) a theme so that no fatal errors
error? I would just delete the folder but I don't know if that would mess anything up within the
system.

Looks like it is just as simple as deleting the theme's folder.. the theme can't be currently
selected as the boot theme however.. that could cause issues.
