Yeah I realize I can’t delete that topic. But it seems to be a bug that I cannot delete the category. I am pretty sure it has to do with the post that was made in that category and then later moved to another that prohibits the category from being removed. Im not sure what kind of checking the platform does when it attempts to delete a category though.
