    After watching your latest Videos on DNN5 Skinning, I created a package for my site. (Very good tutorial!)

    However, when I tried to delete this skin from the Admin/Skins menu, I got this message:

    Error This skin is part of a Skin Package. Use the Uninstall Package option in the list of Skins in the main Grid.


    What/where is the "main Grid"?  Is this Host/Extensions?

    My site is generating an error on the Host/Extensions page. 
    When I go to Host/Extensions - I get the error below. 
    (everything else is working fine on the site)

    Server Error in '/' Application.

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    full error message in attachment.

    Is there an easy way to fix this problem?
    If not - is there a manual procedure to uninstall the skin package?

    Simply delete the directory that holds the skin.

    That seems too easy.

    When looking into the SQL database, there are tables for Skins and SkinPackages. Don't they need to be updated if skins or DNN5 Skin Packages are deleted?

    Yes, that's true.

    But, if you are trying to get rid of a skin that is misbehaving, deleting the directory works just fine.

    I'm having a similar problem. I originally loaded the skin pagkage under the Admin Extensions (dnn 5.5.1) then decided I wanted it at the Host level. I tried to delete and got the same error. So I deleted the folders in the portals/0/skins and portals/0/container folders. Now when I try to install them under the Host/Extensions I get a "This package is already installed" and I can't go any further. Any ideas why?

    You could try renaming the skin and installing it with a new name.  I think that all you need to do is rename the ZIP file.

    You then might be able to "delete" the existing file.
