Hello,
I’ve tried solutions in older threads with no success. Is there a way to actually delete an uncategorized category? I know about going to the admin panel and disabling uncategorized post but this simply hides the category. Is there a way to fully delete it? I don’t even know how it was created.
Thank you!
It isn’t an actual category, it is a state of having no category applied to a topic. So “deleting it” makes no sense. It is like you are asking us to delete the number zero because it has no value.
So, I inherited this forum which might be part of the confusion on my end. Are you saying that this category IS the uncategorized category where uncategorized topics go by default and it’s just been renamed to something else?
Ok, yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. I thought any category could be uncategorized (which I thought was weird grammatically) but knowing that it IS the uncategorized category makes more sense! Thanks!
I think, Deleting it is not a good thing.
It’s better to prevent it from displaying it
This is a fairly common confusion. Often someone will rename and or try to repurpose uncategorized.
I think uncategorized should be either off by default (to increase the likelihood that whoever turns it on will know what it means) or have deciding about whether to use it be part of the wizard (which it may well be already).
I think part of that is because it is referred to as an “uncategorized category” when it is more like "topics not assigned to a category " or “catch-all category”.
I had hoped that the “do not repurpose” would make it obvious that messing with it could lead to problems, but it seems it’s still very much a you don’t understand until you understand thing.
If the text warning isn’t enough maybe code can take away the ability to break it?
所以，冒昧地把这个话题顶上来：既然 Discourse 现在有了实际设置，让发布未分类主题成为不可能，那么是否应该可以删除这个遗留物，或者至少将其隐藏？我想知道为什么甚至无法移动它，比如作为某个其他分类的子分类。我知道“除以零”的类比，但现在它只是孤零零地待在那里，碍眼，一个名为“未分类”的空分类……这确实不太好看 
我相信站点设置已隐藏“未分类”类别。在我的 Discourse 站点上，我已关闭该选项，因此看不到“未分类”类别。
哈哈，你当然说得对。要么进行了硬刷新，要么等了几分钟处理，它就消失了……呼……再见了，那个“未分类的非分类类别”
