Can't remove a dangling category created by the Babble plugin

[Alex_Rabolin]

Hi guys, we have a problem with a category who was created by babble plugin.
She’s locked and no way for delete her.
Have you got an idea please ?

@gdpelican, we removed Babble plugin for now, but we’re not able to remove ‘Chat’ category, as it is locked, and says that there is a post count = 1 (default category post, couldn’t be removed). Do you have an idea?

Thx!

Thank’s , Alex (France) .

Yeah we have the same issue too

(Nous avons le même soucis également… je pense qu’il n’est pas possible d’y remédier…)

Can’t you just hide the category?

You can delete from the CLI

first, look at /categories.json with a browser to get the id # of the category.

If the category id is 27, then, in the CLI:

/launcher
rails c
Topic.where(category_id: 27).destroy_all
then
Category.where(id: 27).destroy_all
