I've seen several threads concerning this but none with any answers.  It seems like once a skin has been referenced, that dnn goes into a "This set of skins cannot be deleted because it is being used" lockdown mode even if you know for a fact that it's not.  I have a problematic skin that I'd like removed and I have total control of the web server and the database server.  I know I can go in and delete the Skin folder but that leaves a bunch of database records that don't get cleaned up.  I really would like to do a clean uninstall.

Can anyone help?  I have two portals running on a single instance: 1) live portal 2) testing portal and neither of them are referencing the problematic skin.

Thanks for your consideration.

No Sir,

I don't have any idea on what that query might look like...I don't have any kind of table definition information.  You did peek my curiosity though and I found a Skins table.  I thought this would give me a list of installed skins and some sort of RecordId that I could use to do further queries.  However this table isn't what it appears to be so I threw in the towel.

Sounds good. I figured there had to be a page out there somewhere using the skin.
