Parent Uncategorized category
-
I accidentally titled my Uncategorized category as Alaska. So now all blogposts are under the category Alaska. I cant change the name or delete it. It went to Writing and there’s no option to rename or delete.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I believe you should be able to edit the name like you said you tried under Settings > Writing > Categories and choosing Edit after clicking the three dots menu in the upper right.
Another place you might be able to edit your categories with more control is in WP Admin > Posts > Categories.
There is more information on your options in this support article.

Thanks; I’ve tried this are there aren’t the 3 dots on the button. Maybe because I’m using the free platform. Anyway, after not being able to do this, I simply retyped the name of the category to “All” which became the parent category. I then added categories so each post is a member of All as well as the category I assigned. I think this worked for the most part.

Here’s a screenshot of the categories settings menu on my free site. However, all it would do is let you rename the category (and add a description), which is what you’ve done already. Glad you figured it out!
