I need to delete a category. I figured I’d have to clean it out first, but thought I’d start by checking the category editing UI.

Much to my surprise and delight, there was a Delete button there & active. “Maybe it’ll ask me where to move everything to” I thought. “Worth a shot.”

Of course that didn’t work. I got an error saying my category was non-empty. 🤷‍♀️

I would have been quite pleased however to have either

- **Dialog**  
This category is not empty. Choose the category to move its posts to  
^ Dropdown

- **Confirm**  
This sub-category is not empty. Its posts will be moved to [parent].
