I understand that, my problem is that I don't know how to not make it not load it instead of the default. I had hoped that uninstalling everything would fix this issue but it still tries to run the incompatible theme after uninstall.

remove/delete the theme from your themes folder and it should just go to the default theme

That is the problem though, the only thing in my themes folder is fallback and default.

OK I just solved this. It looks like the theme was saved in username/appdata/roaming/stepmania5 folder. When I removed it from this folder it was fixed.
