    Why do you need to delete them from the Database? Can you not just delete them from the Categories section in the dashboard?

    Radices, I have 12000+ Categories deleting from Categories section in the dashboard seems to be quiet uncomfortable.

    I’m not clear on the job as it seemed you were deleting one category but your saying that you have 1200 with the same Description? The issue is that they are stored in the terms table and link to other tables so its not a straight forward Delete From Terms where DESCRIPTION = “CRIS Europe” statement (for me anyways).

    I haven’t tried this but it might work for you.
