# Unable to deactivate or uninstall theme ## Description You get the following error message during a Shopware update or when deactivating or uninstalling a theme: > Unable to deactivate or uninstall theme "{themeName}". Please remove the following theme assignments: {assignments}. ## Cause As the error message says, a theme must no longer be assigned to a sales channel so that it can be deactivated or uninstalled. ## Solution With this message, Shopware asks you to remove the assignment of a theme (see `{themeName}`) from the sales channel (see `{assignments}`). In this case, simply assign the Shopware Standard Theme to the corresponding sales channel. {% hint style="info" %} **Note**: For information on how to assign the Shopware Standard Theme to a Sales Channel, see the following guide: [assign-shopware-default-theme.md](../../shopware/configuration/themes/assign-shopware-default-theme.md "mention") {% endhint %}
