SSH into the box and navigate to /storage/.xbmc/addons and "rm -rf <skin_folder_name>" then "reboot" - XBMC will default back to Confluence if it cannot find the configured skin when it restarts.

run THIS, select SSH protocol, and create a connection to the IP address of your HTPC
username = root
password = openelec
it will prompt you to store the HTPC ssh key info (click ok) and then you should have a command shell where you can type:
rm -rf /storage/.xbmc/addons/<name_of_the_skin_folder>
replace <name_of_the_skin_folder> with the name of the skin folder, probably skin.something
