How to Reset Emacs Colorscheme
I'm not 100% sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes:
I downloaded a colorscheme from GitHub and put it into the .emacs.d folder (because that's the custome-theme-load-path). I used the M-x customize-themes command to load the theme and save it. After later deciding that I didn't want the theme anymore I unchecked the box, saved the configuration, and deleted the elisp file. Now every time I start up Emacs I still see that theme even though the file with the colors is deleted. So obviously that meant that Emacs was saving my color configuration somewhere else. I went through and removed Emacs with a "pacman -Rsn" and cleaned the cache. I deleted my .emacs, the .emacs.d folder, and /usr/share/emacs. Yet when I reinstall Emacs the theme is still there. Does anybody know where else Emacs might be saving my configuration? Thanks.

Re: How to Reset Emacs Colorscheme
That works perfectly for the CLI version of emacs (with -nw), but not for the GTK version.

Re: How to Reset Emacs Colorscheme
The obvious place would be in ~/.emacs

Re: How to Reset Emacs Colorscheme
I have deleted .emacs, .emacs.d/, and /usr/share/emacs (as that would most closely replicate a clean install).

Re: How to Reset Emacs Colorscheme
I don't use emacs, but you could also check in ~/.local/share and ~/.cache - or perhaps a quicker test would be to temporarily create a new user or run emacs as root. If with a new and/or root user the issue is gone, then you know you should hunt in your home directory. And beyond the usual suspects you could do a `find ~ -name '*macs*'` to find anything related to emacs.

Unlikely.
It will be under ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d
Or something is being passed in on the command line.

Re: How to Reset Emacs Colorscheme
What is the value of the custom-theme-load-path variable on your emacs? It seems like the theme is installed in there.
