  I want to either change a category name or delete a category

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  See the Managing Categories in WP Admin section of the Categories support page.

  I’ve been to that page, and it only tells how to set up Categories, not how to edit or delete them. Someone else directed me to the dashboard, and I have solved the problem.

  I’m glad that you found other advice that helped, but the “Managing Categories in WP Admin” section of the Categories support page, which I suggested above, says:

  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.

  Also, it says:

  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.
