Deletion of Categories fails

We are consolidating categories and contents in our Discourse instance at forum.netzwissen.de I moved all topics (including the description topic) into an internal “archive” category as admin, with bulk operations. But it is still impossible to delete the old categories, although they appear to be “empty” (message “Nothing to see here…check back soon!”). Any idea how to solve this?

What’s happening when you try to delete the category? Any error message? Any JS error in your browser’s console?
