Hello,

Please find attached file as requested. The problem categories relating to the above post are as follows:

1 sub-category of A000004 (A000111)

3 sub-categories of A000053 (A000057, 088, 106)

1 sub-category of A000046 (A000005)

Thanks for looking at this.
(I'm using KMM compiled from git head of 5.1 branch)

First - It seems a category cannot be deleted if it is the default category for a payee. That seems to be why all these categories cannot be deleted. A000111 is default category for P002488 and P002504, and removing those default categories enables delete for that category. Delete is not enabled for Category A000004, even after is becomes enable for A000111.

A000053 (delete disabled)  is subcategory of A000018 (delete enabled)
A000057, 088, and 106 are each the default category for one or three Payees.

A000005 is a default category for Payee 002440.

Trying to delete category A000046 first asked which other category to assigne associated transactions, and then said that there were sub categoreis which could not be deleted, and to proceed, they would be made subcategories of Exmpense.

Are you sure that when you deleted a parent category, the undeletable subcategory was really deleted along with it, or was it just moved up to a top level expense category?

Question for the developers: when you delete a category, it asks what other category to assign associated transactions to. Is there any reason not to reassign payee default categories (and scheduled transactions) in the same way?
