Can’t Delete Category Product
-
Hello.
I have an uncategorized-category in my products category that came out from nowhere. It has no delete option. How can i delete that category?
-
Do you have some plugins which might be conflicting with it?
Could you try disabling all plugins except for WooCommerce, and then try to delete the category product?
I tried to disable all the plugins but that category is still there and can not be deleted. It has no delete option.
Could post a screenshot of your dashboard, and paste a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status.

I understand uncategorized is default, but how can we change another category to default so we can delete this one?
Hi,
i’ve got the same problem – there is a default category that I can’t delete and also can’t move in position. For me this appeared with the last update (3.2.6).I’ve tried deactivating all plugins (except woocommerce) and also the theme – still not possible to delete or move.
I also can’t find a way to make another category the default one.
If anyone can point me in the right direction here I’d really appreciate it.Thx
Solved by renaming this category and getting rid of another one I had. Then moving the relevant products into this.
Me too. And i did renamed the first one i have because is stays always on top. But i think that this is not a solution. I did this on version 3.26, and when i updated to 3.3 that catogory showed up again. Every time you update woocommerce you have to do that job, to move products to that category 🙁
Funny thing is that I couldn’t find anything in the database that marks this category as the default one. it looks as any other product-category but in the admin it is not possible to delete or reorder …
My solution now was the same as barila26:
I renamed it to the same name as the first category. Then moved all subcategories from the original first category to this one. Then I deleted the original first category.It works now but I am still interested if there is a way to set a different default category – if someone knows how to do this 😉
It works until you update woocomerce. You will see that after the update that category can be deleted, but another category unnamed shows up again. And you have to do that work again.
k, just updated to WordPress 4.9.4. and WooCommerce 3.3.1. and the “Uncategorized” Category is back ;(
But this time I am at least able to move it’s position.Good for you. I’m not able to move it. I just did all that work again after update.:(
This uncategorized category can not be deleted; it’s where new products will go if you don’t give them a category. You can rename it or hide it from frontend. If it’s empty, in most cases it will be hidden.
This is a pain in the arse and WooCommerce should address it as it’s causing problems for thousands of shop owners.
For my part, I had the same issue and solved it as follows:
- In WooCommerce, go into Products > Categories and put your mouse over the “uncategorized” category to get its ID from the underlying URL (in my case this was 58)
- Add a Custom CSS snippet as follows:
.cat-item-58 {display:none}
Job done. Doesn’t matter what happens from now on because the uncategorized category will always retain the same ID. That’s why this probably works better than removing this category from the sql which might always be re-created (with a different number) by another WC update.
