I messed up

A small problem which I'm sure will be easy to solve:
I uploaded a theme and started to use it, but I noticed I had uploaded the wrong folder so it's messed up now. My question is, how do I change the theme without using the admin panel?

If you can't change it back to a default theme in the admin panel, use PHPmyAdmin to go directly to your db and reset it there.

If you move the folders to the "correct" location, the theme might start working ok, or upload a new theme with the same name.

save this as a source

Code:

Upload a theme and now your whole site is shambles? Save this as themefix.php and upload to
your root folder next to your mainfile.php and config.php then point your browser to it.
If your not using the DeepBlue theme then replace that with your theme name.(One that you know works)

http://yoursite.com/themefix.php

<?php
require_once("mainfile.php");
$theme= "DeepBlue";
$sql = "UPDATE ".$prefix."_config SET Default_Theme = '".$theme."'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
echo "Thanks for using this fix! Your theme has been reset to ".$theme."";
?>
