Cant delete category v13.12.1

eeeee

I have a category on my nodebb instance I want to remove.
If I go to Edit, there is no delete in the menu
There is 'Purge', but will highlight with grey bar but does nothing on click, presumably because it needs to be deleted before Purged?

I think this is a bug, unless anyone can say how to Delete a category?

Is is possible to Disable this category, but if its no longer required Delete would be preferable

@eeeee are you trying to delete from the ACP? You can't delete in the forum view.

eeeee

Yes trying to remove from Admin Panel, Manage Categories

@eeeee This menu option?

Odd that it's greyed out, probably means there's a precondition that wasn't satisfied...

@eeee I just checked the template, the button should never be greyed out

eeeee

to be specific hovering over it gives a grey bar highlight, but clicking on it does nothing.
So on this you can go straight to purge, theres no delete required in the step to remove?

@eeeee correct, the wording is a bit different. So while posts and topics you can "delete" and then "purge", with categories, you're "disabling", and then "purging".

Whatever, just the same. Categories don't need to be disabled before being purged.

What shows up in the dev console when you click "purge category"? It should open a modal.

eeeee

nothing happens on click
