    I want to delete one category which I created wrong by mistake. Now I have 2 categories that are same name. When I add new post, I can see it in category menu. But when I go to “Category” in Dashboard, I can’t find it to delete. Although this category isn’t a default category, I have no way to find & delete it.

    Pls help me resolve this problem. Thanks so much.

    Could use phpMyAdmin to delete the record for that category in wp_terms_taxonomy and wp_terms tables.

    Might backup your database before attempting.

    I have this same problem. I have this category (called “0542”, with category id “3”) that just won’t go away. It’s not in the dashboard anymore, it’s been deleted, it’s not in wp_terms_taxonomy (in fact, the ids skip from 2 to 4) or wp_terms tables. But when you load up the main page, sure enough, there it is in the category list. Help!!
