@avatarz I’m assuming you are referring to this option in the Orders screen: http://cld.wthms.co/u2NeTP
Is that right? If so, this isn’t a “category” exactly, nor can this be hidden just from the settings of the plugin.
WooCommerce 3.5.0 introduced a change that made it so the customer in an order is set to the author of the order. Because of this, there are now multiple authors for orders, instead of just the ID of 1.
Whenever there are multiple authors for a post type, WordPress will add a Mine option for filtering, so that you can easily find the ones you have created.
This shouldn’t affect things in terms of functionality, but if you are keen on hiding this option, you’ll need custom coding. You might want to try this code snippet, which contains a filter that will unset the Mine option from the order view page: https://gist.github.com/jessepearson/3279983d904e30ca51537ca849c2a4ad
Haven’t tested it myself, but you might want to give it a try.
