A category can not be deleted directly. A category disappears when it is no longer associated with any objects. First determine which objects contain a category. Then remove the category from each individual object. Using the search feature makes this task easier to perform.
How to search for all objects containing a specific category
1 In the Navigation Pane, choose Setup, and choose an object type. For example, choose Measures.
