  Why are my excluded categories in the Category Cloud widget showing up?

  My uncategorized category (named “what not”) used to be hidden in my category cloud widget, and now it is showing. I can’t get it to hide.

  It looks like you have entered just a name into the exclusion ID field.

  These need to actually be the numerical IDs, which you can get from the category edit URL.

  For example, in https://example.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=category&tag_ID=271388&post_type=post the ID for this category is 271388.

  I have already made the change to your widget.
