Severe lag on phone after deleting a theme

So every time I delete an installed theme on the device it goes through an extreme lag session. I check the cpu and see that it does some heavy load for a while like several hours. I have to restart the phone to have it operate normally, but I dont know why that happens all the time every time I delete or erase a theme. It was like this from the start since I bought the phone and I hope I'm no the only one experiencing this because I can't find any data on Google too. Please advise anyone.

do you switch to another theme before uninstalling?
have you disabled any apps?

Of course I switch to another theme before uninstalling, and I have not disabled any apps except the lookout that was pre-installed

Why are you un-installing themes? I'd just leave them in your collection. They're not going to do any harm there nor take up much room...

I have the S6 Active and it has lag after changing themes also. Occasionally, just changing the wallpaper on a theme other than the default causes lag. I normally reboot after changing the theme or wallpaper and it helps with the lag.

It's just my thing, I don't like having too many impractical things stored

That's weird. But for me, it's not about changing to another theme (As it works perfectly fine), but it's about deleting a theme. I just don't understand it, its nothing like deleting a useless photo or an app but it causes severe load session

I just deleted a theme to see what it does and the phone kind of freaked for about 30 seconds. There was quite a bit of lag, I couldn't use the recent button (it kept going back to the home screen) or go to the app draw, and I noticed quite a bit of data activity.

After reading this thread I decided to try and delete a theme and see what happens. Holy cow this thing is super leggy now. I am typing and nothing shows up for 2 seconds 😂pressing the recent apps take about 3 seconds to actually do anything and when I click on the phone dialer it takes a couple seconds to operate... This is an interesting discovery. Time for a restart lol

i have just tried this and after deleting a theme yes there was a bit of lag for about 15-20 seconds but that was it.
checking the cpu usage it was the system ui doing some background stuff
