-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 When a user uploads (/wp-admin/theme-install.php) a theme.zip file from
 their desktop that may have an invalid folder structure WP accepts the
 upload. The theme does not appear in the /wp-admin/themes.php list of
 available themes so the user assumes it was not taken and they try the
 upload again and are met with a cryptic "Folder already exists" message.

 Perhaps WP could validate the internal file/folder structure of the
 theme.zip and reject the upload with a clearer message such as: "This
 theme does not comply with the standard WP folder structure for themes.
 Please see this topic <link to topic> that explains the proper standard.
 Note: Please alert the theme author to modify their theme.zip download to
 comply"
