Comment (by pbiron):

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/14955/14955.2.diff
 14955.2.diff] adds the `delete_theme` actions before the deletion attempt
 and the `deleted_theme` action after the deletion attempt.

 I think #37951 should be opened back up as it is more appropriate to these
 hooks (since this ticket was originally intended for theme `uninstall`
 hooks), but since @vetyst was encouraged to add his similar patch to this
 ticket I did as well.

 My use case is simple: I've got a plugin that modifies the database when
 themes are installed (which it detects by hooking into
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/upgrader_process_complete/
 upgrader_process_complete] and I need it to cleanup after itself when
 themes are deleted.
