I deleted the additional themes, so I only have “modern” but my edits do not display on the site. I even deleted the header file and it still displays.
Try clearing cache from “var/cache” folder in magento root directory. You can also find out the path of html file by enabling path hints in admin > system > configuration > Developer > choose the store view from configuration scope dropdown in the left top & go to debug section > Template Path Hints set to yes. This will show entire path of the file on frontend.
Hope this will help you.
