Hello guys , i apologise if this question has been posted elsewhere in the forum but i did check pretty thoroughly. i am new to drupal but i have done several sites using drupal now. i bought this theme from themeforest and i feel like i want to change and/or rename folders and maybe modules if possible. i have done some research and found some ideas about altering the .info file, libraries files etc but it doesnot work for me. what i want is remove all cases of this theme creator and replace it with my company name, so i will appreciate a step-by-step help to totally achieving the same. thank you

Gavias theme is the most
Gavias theme is the most perfect theme for Drupal. This theme very fast and clean code.
If you use Gavias Quick Start then this theme will installed not only the theme itself but contains: blocks, articles, views, etc.
So renaming the theme will not rename the blocks and/or Views name. You must install only the theme then created the blocks manually with your desire name.
Thanks alot but how about other references
Thanks alot @drupalisme, yes gavias have clean themes, and i didnt know that i dont have to use the demo data that came with it, so i have to do a clean install. yes. how about any references to the theme name e.g /sites/themes/gavias/,, what folders do i have to rename before pointing drupal to it so that all references are in my custom theme name please?
Looks like the system name is: gavias_buildpro
You would require to replace all references to gavias_buildpro with the name of your choice. That means all folders, files and their content contained in themes/gavias_buildpro, itself included.
Not sure about /sites/themes/gavias, that must be something particular to gavias. Suspect it to be renamed as well, again with everything in it. You would need to figure out what that folder is all about.
Unfortunately, the complexity
Unfortunately, the complexity of Drupal means that debugging these issues isn't something that can really be done in a thread, from a screenshot of the source code. There is just to much variability.
Someone may come along with some ideas, but usually these threads just sit dead with no responses, so I thought I would at least let you know why.
In these kind of cases, you are best off doing one of two things:
1) Spend a few weeks learning Drupal theme development, until you understand it well enough that you can start to pick apart the theme you purchased and understand what is happening
2) Hire a freelancer or someone to make the modifications for you.
