    Hello!
    Is there a plugin or a way to costumize category pages without coding?
    If not, is there a way to delete the main content of the category page and only show the category’s descripion box?(because the description box can be costumized with html and without the main content i could make it look like a page in it self-so that would also be perfect)

    You can add HTML to the category page using code or a plugin.

    What theme are you using?

    If its Twenty Fifteen, you would copy over the archive.php file to a child theme and remove the loop which is this code:

    <?php
			// Start the Loop.
			while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

				/*
				 * Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
				 * If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
				 * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
				 */
				get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );

			// End the loop.
			endwhile;

    You could even create a custom category.php file in your child theme and remove the loop from all or one specific category page which is a better solution.

    category-1.php would be better, replacing 1 with the I.D of your category or the slug, example: category-news.php
