Is it fixable or should I just call it a day and delete it?

Hello looking for a bit of help as I broke my site after deleting unwanted themes ie"origin" I have tried to fix it by re-uploading the deleted themes but still getting internal error 500.

I've never deleted a theme. They only take up about 2 meg on your server so it's hardly worth the bother.
Firstly, the Origin Theme that comes wit Oxwall must NOT be deleted. Oxwall uses components of this theme regardless of the theme you're running.
Deleting other themes may create a 500 error if you delete them while Oxwall is running on your browser. Like plugins, Oxwall reads what themes are in the ow-themes folder when it starts. If you delete a theme while it's running on your browser, it may produce the error message.

Mark you cannot delete Origin theme, as whole admin panel is based on this theme. YOu need to upload origin theme again, this should work. Other themes are not as important as this one.

The origin theme should not have the option to delete it, this would never of happened to mark or anyone else who has removed it,

John, this error message means the system can't find folder "Aerial Reloaded"
Please, specify do you want to delete or to restore this theme ?
Before deleting theme you need to choose another theme in Admin Area>Appearance>Chose Theme section. If you can't do this because of the error got to your phpMyAdmin > ow_base_config table and change the theme in selectedTheme row.
If you want to restore theme you need to re-upload Aerial Reloaded theme folder.

joe rovito, it seems you have solved your issue. I've opened your site and not discovered the 500 error.
