 * Hello Guys,
 * Is there a way to save category/term as draft or in trash ? I do not want to 
   delete category/term permanently.

 * Sorry, no. Drafts and trash only apply to posts. Taxonomy terms are completely
   different objects and do not have that kind of support. About the closest you
   could come is to create a “trash” taxonomy and switch which taxonomy the term
   is associated with. The relationship of terms to taxonomies within the various
   taxonomy tables is rather complicated. This switch must be done very carefully
   to avoid corrupting the data.
