>> WordPress (self-hosted) tells you to delete themes you aren't using, but it's fairly complicated to do that.

Lauren,
I feel some responsibility for the acts by the rogue BBS/SNS as it was originally developed my fellow country man, who ran away from many civil law suits involving his online services in Japan. He lives in France now.
Surprisingly, he has become a popular TV commentator here.
