woocommerce Cannot remove “uncategorized” with bulk edit

I imported products into woocommerce and they came in under the “uncategorized” category. When I got to bulk edit and change the category to the correct one(s) (uncategorized is not selected), it still does not remove the product from the “uncategorized” category. I have tried the numerous times, the only way it works is if I go to each individual item and change it to the correct category. I have over 2000 items to categorize, need to figure out what’s causing this. I have deactivated all plug ins and the only one activated is the woocommerce one. I have changed my theme to storefront. The issue has not gone away. Here is my status report….
