I have tried to install a skin manually and now it has left me with blank pages and i need to revert to a skin that works. How can i delete the skin i have installed. I can't see anything on the screen so navigation is impossible!
Delete guisettings.xml, or edit it accordingly.

Best is to delete the installed skin. You can find it here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata
in the 'addons' folder instead of the mentioned 'userdata' folder in the wiki.
And do a restart of XBMC and you will revert to Confluence
not knowing much about ubuntu how do i navigate to the folder in cmd prompt. i can't ftp into it
Load XBMC
Press CTRL+F2
Login using the user/pass you setup during install (guessing this is XBMCBuntu?), this is the Command Line for Ubuntu.
Type -
Code:
cd /home/(USERNAME)/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data
replace (USERNAME) with the user you setup with (usually xbmc)
then find the name of the offending skin name by typing
and then type -
Code:
sudo rm skin.(skin-name-here) -r
this will remove the conflicting add-on.
Then reboot -
Should reload and go back to Confluence.

you need (i think because i don't use ubuntu):
PHP Code:
cd /home/(USERNAME)/.xbmc/addons
