How was it installed ? Normally removing the folder from home/hidden folders/.themes or file system/usr/share/themes does the trick .

If the theme had an installation script check for removal instructions at site where you found the theme . The fact that you have upgraded from Gnome 2 to Gnome 3 may complicate things .

You also need to install advanced setting from the software center to change themes in 11.10.

Congrats. I am surprised that the upgrade actually allowed the present theme to remain installed.

If you did a full upgrade and installed everything needed then reset unity.

To reset Unity in CompizConfig Settings manager, open a terminal or press ALT + F2 and enter the following command.
unity --reset

Similarly, to reset Unity Launcher icons, use the following command.

unity --reset-icons
