How to get rid of a blog category?

Had a member create a blog or made a category somehow, and I can't figure out how to delete it.  I banned the member, but the category he created us still on my site.  I wouldn't normally care, but right on my main page is "RICH BITCH" under the categories block, "Blogs".  There is no blog, and no RICH BITCH category in my blog category admin list.

Stumped...

I suppose you can remove it from the database. What table? Dunno', but it's always more fun to snoop around. It's organized, you know.

The specific table as far as I remember is sys_categories broSmile It certainly was when I was testing the betas. I am not sure if you can edit user categories from the admin panel but you can certainly edit the system categories. I would have to look but you can do that and work it out. Go to Administration -> settings -> Category Settings. You can change things there and test it out.

Hi, thanks for the info.  I tried doing it in the Admin, and only system level (original) categories are listed.  This one was added by a member, so it'll be in the db I think, going hunting now...

Thanks,

Bill

edit - yep, you were correct, it was in sys_categories :)
