Error while deleting category and hierarchy

Question

Hi All,
I am not able to delete the categories and hierarchy. It is throwing a message products are still assigned to categories. But when I go to maintain products and click on start it is not showing any product. I created another category also. It is showing another error certain set types can be assigned to base categories. I went to se38 and given the program COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE also and deleted every product. Still I am not able to delete category.
Again when I delete some set types from the category it is showing another message that products of subcategory already exists. Set type cannot be deleted.
Can anybody suggest me what should I do?
Thanx

Hi Saravana,
If you have tried COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_SINGLE, then I'm guessing that you must be aware of making an entry in the table COMC_PR_TOOL_REG wherein you register the system program that you want to execute for ex: Delete Product, Category etc.
Ensure that there are no entries in the table COMM_PRODUCT. You can also try program COM_PRODUCT_DELETE_ALL to delete all products in the system.
In order to delete Product hierarchy you could use program COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_ALL or COM_HIERARCHY_DELETE_SINGLE which would delete Hierarchies with All Category Data.
Also, in order to delete Category-Set type relationships, delete entries from the database table COMM_CATFRGR.
Hope this helps.
