Click on edit to edit the category. There you can change its name, and move it to somewhere else thanks to the "parent" option. And you can delete the categories by selecting them with the checkbox and then clicking on the "delete" button at the top. 2. Having the products of the sub categories displaying or not on the main category of the menu item simply depends on how you configure your menu item. When you edit it via the Joomla menus manager, you can change the "sub element filter" of the "products options" tab in order to change that behavior.
