Alright going to do that now. If I run into any problems I'll let you know. I'll be sure to be very cautious because I don't like bothering people all the time. So thank you again for all your help

And just do this if you can't uninstall them in any other way. To find if they are on the system you could.
1. sudo gainroot
2. dpkg -l | grep <program/theme name> (the "-l" is an small "L")
3. find / | grep <program/theme name>
Do uninstall completly
4. dpkg -P <program/theme name> (make sure to write big "P")

Ok I got the job done with no problems. Now my mind is clear because now I basically can delete anything I don't want any more and yes it is risky but usually those things will just be files left behind after uninstalling something. Thank you very much AIMehdi. The Caribbean owes you much love lol

Oh wait I think I got what you're saying. You're saying program or theme name. Ahh I get it now.
I'm going to make some notes about this stuff for later.

"dpkg -l" = will show you a list of all your programs.. including those not visible in app manager.
"dpkg -P" = Removes and purgers the program and all it's configuration files...
"find /" = serach for a file or folder in the complete system
"find /home/user/" = serach for a file or folder in /home/user/ and its subfolders
"| grep <name>" = what to "grep". In this case what to look for.

Lol!.. just remembered that "dpkg -l" could look little ugly.. a nicer way would be to add awk to it.
dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep theme
dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | grep theme

You could actually do both
|grep <name>
| grep <name>
| grep "<name>"
I put a space to make it more visible.. so to be safe to exactly as i wrote above.
edit: will go to sleep now.. later
|grep <name>
| grep <name>
| grep "<name>"
