A category can be deleted when it is not in use anymore. When the Site Manager deletes a category, the sub-categories it has are deleted along with it, and the items that the category contains become un-attached to it.
If you have been operating your directory for some time and your Members have paid you to have their items in your site under a specific category, they will not be happy if you remove the category without warning. You may want to state in the Terms of Use that you are in legal position to delete a category without prior notice to the Members. Terms of Use are the set of rules you set up in the Site Content area. A site visitor who wants to become a Member must agree with the Terms of Use before he/she can complete the signing up procedure.
