while logged in as master admin, I go to my Forums 'categories', and I can click on transfer, or modify, each category... but the whole column of buttons for 'delete' is greyed out and unavailable. Why is this? How do I delete one of my forum categories? (my forums are owned by a profile I own that I named "Forums") And I already cleared out all discussions in that category.
I must be overlooking something obvious. thanks

Use the TRANSFER button on the categories you want to delete first to move all posts out of that category before deleting it.

your-site/forums/forum/categories

When the number in the TOPICS column is 0 then you will be able to delete the category.

Interesting! So, I transferred the last remaining post (which I could not seem to simply delete) to another category, and it ...disappeared. ?!
Kind of strange behavior, but it worked, so.. thanks!

Update- it didn't 'disappear'- instead, it took a whiole to show up in the category I transferred it to. I found it there later and deleted it.
Issue resolved, thanks!
