How do I delete categories?

Question

I've checked out this answer
http://question2answer.org/qa/28083/how-to-remove-or-delete-categories?show=28083#q28083

However no delete categories option seems there for me. Any advice greatly appreciated

Answer 1

Admin --> Categories --> Click on the Catogory which you want to delete

Then select (Check Box) Delete this category --> Save Changes

If you have sub-categories this option does not show for parent categories. First you have to delete sub-catogeries.

To delete sub-categories click on sub-categories which are shown under parent catogery.

Answer 2

1. log in as administrator.
2. go to "admin > categories"
3. open the category that you want to remove.
4. check " Delete this category" option and save it.

Q2A might ask you to select another category to move this categories questions to.
