Root How to delete flashed themes, fonts and other zip files from system ?

Hello and thanks to everyone, especially suroot

After I have rooted, I keep on flashing themes and fonts and boot animations thru recovery.
Now I want to delete some of these.how can I do so?

When you flash a boot animation it either goes to /data/local or system/media/. Flashing a boot animation overwrites the previous one.

Similarly, when you flash a theme, it overwrites your rom's system/framework/framework-res.apk. To restore this to original you can either put the original framework in the zip file of the flashable theme and flash that or simply reflash the rom.

With fonts, depending what you are flashing, you can either "adb pull" in recovery or if s-off, delete it with root explorer, or just flash the rom again.
 
Thanks suroot ...u r my idol in the world of rooting...
I understood about fonts and themes
Regarding boot animations, I know how to replace them now, but can I switch it off, as it consumes times in booting ? I had no boot animation running before
Can reflashing the rom do?
 
The phone will boot in the same amount of time regardless of the boot animation. You can delete it of course but you will have a black screen. Hard to tell when you have boot problems
