Deleting Taxonomy Categories


Prerequisites: See Taxonomy Prerequisites for details.

Deleting a taxonomy category removes the category, its localized versions and children, and all its associations with content items.

  1. Navigate to Administration > Taxonomy.
  2. Locate the category to delete.
  3. Hover over the category. The plus (+) and minus (-) buttons display.
