The themes downloaded through the Themes application (on Cinnamon) doesn't seem to go to /usr/share/themes, where do they go???

I'm not on Cinnamon, but I guess it's
~/.local/share/themes. That is the user directory for themes. And I don't think the Theme Manager requires a root password, so it probably can only be there.Linux Mint Xfce 21 | CalyxOS 5.4.1 | Raspberry Pi OS 11

Err yes my fault... I responded to fast... The actual user theme folder is
~/.themes (although the other one would make more sense in my oppinion...). Sorry for the chaos.Linux Mint Xfce 21 | CalyxOS 5.4.1 | Raspberry Pi OS 11

Nice 
Just so you know: If you don't need them somewhere else, you can just leave the themes there. You won't be able to use them for other users but for your own user they should be available from that directory.
