  Hello!

  You can easily edit, delete, or even change categories to tags or vice versa.

  You can start by typing into your browser yourblognamehere.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
  to bring you to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.

  The Posts -> Categories page in your dashboard displays all your categories and shows the name, description, and number of posts belonging to each category. If you move your mouse over a category a set of options will appear, allowing you to edit, quick-edit, or delete that category. If you click on Quick Edit the category will change into an edit box and you can rename the category quickly.

  If you click on Edit you will taken to a separate page where you can edit the name, parent, and description. This functions exactly the same as adding a category.

  Clicking on Delete will delete that category. When a category is deleted, all posts that were only in that category will be assigned to the default category. If a post was also in other categories it will remain untouched.

  Note: You cannot delete the default category.

  Here is more information on categories.

  Hope this helps!
