Write your message below:
There is a category in my setup that doesn't appear to be sending notification messages to the users assigned to it. I'd like to delete and rebuild it -- but there's no delete option in the admin interface for this one category (which as an ID of 1).

How can I delete this category?

Other categories seem to be sending OK.

ID 1 is the default category that cannot be deleted, just renamed.

But it uses the exact same code as all other categories, so "rebuilding" it isn't a solution.

OK, thank you. As it turned out, the issue was the auto assign function -- it was sending notifications to people who have permission to view the category, but who were not actually monitoring it, so they ignored the emails.
