Hello,

I installed discourse recently. Great Software. But I am having a problem. I am creating the categories for my Site but there’s a default Lounge category which I am unable to delete. It simply say’s “Can’t delete this category because topic count is 1” But there are no topics expect the description topic that is “About Lounge Category” and I am unable to delete this as well.

Please guide me on how to get rid of this builtin category. Or

Regards,  
Rahul
