It’s not easy to figure out how to delete the “Uncategorized” category for WordPress posts. But when you know this hidden feature, it will just take one minute to fix it. In this video, we’ll describe how to remove the category Uncategorized in WordPress.

Before you start, make sure that you have created at least one post category in addition to the default “Uncategorized” category. You can see and create categories under Posts » Categories.

That’s it! Remember that once you delete a category, it can’t be restored again.
