 * Hello everyone, I just started learning WordPress. I do not have money to pay
   for a hosting page like bluehost and the likes so I am learning with desktop 
   server. I ran into an issue earlier this day and I am hoping I will get few advice
   on how to get past this issue. Thanks in advance.
    … So, I first used desktop
   server to download WordPress 5.3, I was able to create some sites and I checked
   out the interface. I then updated my WordPress and I got the 5.7.2 version. There’s
   a tutorial video I am following, I was told to download some plugins and baseline
   theme. I downloaded these plugins and baseline theme. I did accordingly as instructed
   but when I wanted to create a website, the website didn’t create. I don’t know
   what to do.

 * Your support request is far too broad to provide detailed feedback.
 * However, you can use the file manage in Windows/Mac to navigate to the folder
   of where you have installed WordPress. You can then go into these folders and
   delete whatever it is you download:
    /desktop-server-site/wp-content/themes/ 
   and /desktop-server-site/wp-content/plugins/

 * Thank you very much [@corrinarusso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/corrinarusso/).
   I figured that my request was too long but I couldn’t think of how to shorten
   my message and also communicate well the issues I had. I will follow your advice
   and delete those plugins and theme.
