If you click on the “list” icon near the upper left, checkboxes will appear next to the topics. After you check one or more of them a “wrench” icon will appear near the upper right. If you click that, you will have the option to “change category” (move) or delete the topics (and a few other choices).

AFAIK - untested - once the category is devoid of topics it can then be deleted.
