# Default category

 * Is it possible to remove the default category? All of my posts are labeled as“
   uncategorized”, which is what I want. When I write a new post or edit and old
   post, it is assigned to my “default” category which I have no option to remove.
 * Is there a way to stop posts automatically being assigned to the default category(
   so that they are all “uncategorized”), or can I remove the default category altogether?
