Cannot delete any categories

Hello,
in a test-phase of content service I built some categories that we do not need. If I try to delete them, I get this message:
"cannot delete because there are already instances of the categories either there exist any subcategories"
I deleted all subcategories, all folders where those categories were used and if I am searching for instances of categories I get no results. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong or what I missed?
Many thanks, Mandy

The same thing happened to me and I haven't resolved it yet. However, did you check your Trash folders? If there is anything in there that has your category attached to it you can't delete the category, so first make sure that Trash folders are empty. My case was that I could delete all categories as long as any of them wasn't assigned to some folder (=> file) as Required. If there was some file that had that required category instance, even after emptying the trash I wasn't able to delete the category. So I came to conclusion that it is a bug. I did find one thread related to this (something about Archive), but I didn't have time to try that approach yet. Here is the thread, let me know if it helps Delete documents

  • I cannot delete ANY apps after upgrading to ios 5-

    After updated my software to ios 5 (iPhone 4, Verizon), I cannot delete any of the apps; it's like every single app is now a "native," acting just like all of the built in apps like phone, message, safari, etc. When I hold down on any one of them, they all start shaking, but no red x with the circle- there is no way to remove them...
    I think that it is a bug in the software, because I updated my other iPhone 4 to ios 5, and I do not have any issues with this whatsoever...

    I am having the exact same problem. When i go to update my existing apps - it asks me to type my password for my initial apple id (upon upgrade i needed to change it to the @soandso.com) but it wont take my password. When i try to download new applications it works - my new apple id comes up and everything works fine.
    i tried restoring my phone, changing my settings, etc.
    When i try to update in itunes it gives me a notification along the lines of "cannot update do to not holding majority of ..."
    did you find a solution?
    Very Frustrated...

  • I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

  • Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

    The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
    Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
    If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

  • I cannot delete any icon shivering in my iPhone4S. Why do the "X" to delete doesn´t show?

    Hi.  I'm a rookie on all this stuff.  I´ve just updated to iOS 6.0.1, but I cannot delete any icon shivering in my iPhone4S' screen. Why do the "X" to delete doesn´t show?  They keep on shivering,  able to be rearranged,  but cannot delete ANY app, any old game, anything!!
    How can I solve it??
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi. shldr2thewheeel...  I so appreciate the time you have taken to reply to my pleas for help.  I think that I need to clarify my problem.  But would you reread my previous message in the mean time...I may not be using the correct terminolgy for what I am trying to find out. AndI am sorry for that.  This stuff is very confusing for me but I am trying.
    I do not have any thing in the trash. I don't even know if I have a trash folder.
    #1.I wanted to know if I could have somehow deleted the trash folder ? in my email site?
    #2 If it is possible than would this be why I cannot get the messages in inbox to delete to the trash folder?
    #3 When I try to delete anything on this computer I get the message on my screen..++++ telling me that whatever it is that I am trying to delete could not be moved to that mailbox because  "Deleted messages -mail.comcast.net does not allow messages to moved to it+++++    Doesn't make sense to me and that is why I wanted to know if it was possible that I may have deleted the trash folder under the INBOX , SENT, DRAFTS, and then where the TRASH folder is suppose to be?
    #4 Everytime I try to delete anything this message box shows up that tells me what is written in #3 between the +++++  ++++++
    It is like there is no trash folder to delete anything to.  It this possible that there is not a trash folder because I could have deleted the Trash folder??
    Thank you so much for time and your help....

  • After updating I ended up with 4 icons on my desktop - I cannot delete any of them. The error message reads; "Cannot read from the source file or disk".

    I updated from the original version to 6.0.1 and when I re-started FF there were 4 icons on my desktop. I managed to delete one of them, but I cannot delete the other two - to leave me with just one.
    I get the error message of "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source fie or disk".

    Here's the meaning of the error that you received.
    "An error has occurred. ERROR :10-FC06-0002" -- may be caused by damaged recovery media or faulty hard drive"
    Possible that the problem is on the recovery also.
    Hope this helps.

  • I cannot delete any contacts from my I phone 4. It is not indicating any delete or edit button for contacts.

    I tried to delete some old unnwanted contacts from my I phone. But it does not show the delete or edit option in the contact list page.

    My settings are fine.  I believe the issue is because there is a typo in the email address to the person I am trying to send the email to.  I am trying to open the email to correct typo but every time I try to open the email I get a message saying, "Cannot open email, email is being sent."  I also cannot delete this email either.

  • Mail Box Issues. Cannot delete any of my emails.

  • I cannot delete any photos from iphoto.

    I've tried right-clicking and move to trash, dragging photos to the trash, and pressing the delete key. Nothing works.
    It has only happened since I've installed Mountain Lion. I cannot empty the trash either. No error messages either...Please help.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    That is because Apple Mac Mail is set to not delete emails from the server so even though you delete them in Mail they are being redownloaded from your Mail service providers IMAP servers.

  • I cannot delete any photos!

    I am trying to delete some unwanted blurry photos in iPhoto and all I get is an annoying beep. Control click and menus will not provide me with any options. What's going on?!

    Yes, that worked. Thank you. I wish there was a keyboard shortcut of somesort to make it quick and easy. I suppose this is good to prevent accidents though.

  • N95 8GB - Cannot delete any music files ??

    N95 8GB
    I have install some music, but have tried deleting them, via the Nokia PC Suite, and via the phone and via PC windows explorer.
    But nothing happens.
    You get the 'files being deleted' message, but the phone just seems to die. You then have to switch off and on again. And no files have been deleted.

    i had the same issue with my e90 and my n900.
    the only way i was able to get rid of them was to connect to my pc via cable and then delete from my pc.
    give it a try. see if that helps you.
