I updated Acquia Slate 2x to 3x and everything was fine until i tried to use Garland as the default theme and the site remained stuck to Acquia Slate.
When I deleted all Acquia Slate and fusion directories, checked Garland as default theme my site lost all styling since Garland remained unselected as the default theme.
If I return the Acquia Slate and fusion directories, Acquia Slate is again the default theme.
Does anybody know what's going on here?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try flushing the cache a couple of times?

I cleared the cache more than 50 times and still no change.
Is there a way to manually clear the cache?

You can empty the cache tables from something like phpMyAdmin.
Check your setting.php file as there are theme settings in there. Line 172

Thanks tommyent.
I manually emptied all cache tables and and changed the 'theme_default' from 'acquia_slate' to 'garland' but that simply transfered the Aquia Slate issue to garland. That is you cannot change the theme to anything else.
Below is the last entry in my settings.php.
$conf = array(
# 'site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
'theme_default' => 'acquia_slate',
# 'anonymous' => 'Visitor',
);

Comment the theme out. 

# $conf = array(
#   'site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
#   'theme_default' => 'acquia_slate',
#   'anonymous' => 'Visitor',

Thanks tommyent it worked.
However, when it did not work the first time i chose to use a copy of the default.setting.php (i.e. after removing the preceding "default". Firefox said it could not connect and I reverted to the old settings.php and now "Cron run failed." appears anytime I run cron.
Do you have any idea what I did wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Check the recent log entries at admin/reports
What do you see? Something liket his perhaps Attempting to re-run cron while it is already running
Again try clearing the cache a couple of times if not your are going to need to make database edits deleting a couple of cron variables

Thanks again tommyent.
I followed you pointers and got that resolved by disabling the search module.
