Joomla Template Install: Another template is already using directory
“Template Install: Another template is already using directory: ‘joomlaroot/templates/template_name’”
The error message suggest, another template with the same name is already installed. There is also the possibility that the same template had been installed, but not properly uninstalled earlier. Either way, to get the template you have to work you will have to make sure to totally eradicate the previous template.
Solution to this is Uninstall the previous template.
Extensions–>Install/Uninstall.
Displayed is the
Extension Manager.
On the list of the different extension types, select
Templates.
Click the radio button next to the template you wish to uninstall, and then click uninstall. The template should be successfully deleted.
In case the template does not uninstall properly, you can log into your site via FTP, and delete it manually.
Log into your site via FTP, and go to this directory:
joomlaroot/templates/ click on the template to be removed and then delete it.
