Category “1” automatically being added

What’s with the category “1” automatically being added to my list of categories??

Please give the URL of your blog when you ask a question here (or link your nickname to your blog as explained in the Sticky “8 Things to Know”).

It sounds like somewhere along the road, the default category has been deleted but a new default category has not been chosen.
Go to settings > writing and set a new default post category (one that you have created) and then click “save changes” at the bottom of the page. You can reassign another category when you make posts, but there has to be a default category or the system will keep creating a category called “1”.
Now go to posts > categories and delete the “1” category. It should now be gone and stay gone.

Dude. Awesome!! I changed the default category, and I’ve deleted “1” but it came back. Thanks a lot!!

I’ve never been told “awesome” when something didn’t work. ;-)
Click on categories in the dashboard: does it show any posts assigned to that category?
