  Hi!

  Is there a button I can click to delete a category?

  The article mentioned some keyboard shortcuts that aren’t supported on my device.

  @storygenie5, are you trying to delete all posts within the category, or do you want to delete the category itself and keep the posts?

  Also, can you let us know what device you’re using so we can advise? I know the phone app is a bit simplified, for example, but perhaps you could use a mobile browser.

  Hi again.

  Just to clarify, I am trying to delete the category itself, not the posts.

  These are the instructions to delete an entire category: https://wordpress.com/support/empty-site/#delete-categories-individually

  Can you specify which keyboard shortcuts aren’t available? Or which device you are working from? We can better inform on how to proceed with that information. Thank you.
