  Hi,
  I want to do some blog “housecleaning” and first on my list is revamping my categories. How can I delete categories I no longer want? (I assume they have to be empty). Can someone give me the step by step instructions?
  Also, how do I create new categories within a parent category?
  Thank you in advance!

  Please see the support documentation: http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#bulk-actions

  Also, how do I create new categories within a parent category?

  Sub-Category name – As expected, the name of your category.
  Category parent – If you want to nest a category within a category, select the parent category. Otherwise leave at None. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#adding-categories-via-the-dashboard
