-- url of the page with the problem -- : scarvesaustralia.com.au
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8
-- PHP version -- : 5.4
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Safari 9.0.3

I created many categories to display scarves in different colours, materials, etc.

I started to work with filters (custom fields setup) and now find that the categories are not needed anymore. So I started to delete them but I am left with a mess



The only categories I would want to see there are:

ROOT
- SCARVES
- BRAND

How do I clean this up?

Hi,

You can't delete root categories via the interface.
So you'll have to delete the categories you don't want via your phpmyadmin in the table hikashop_category.
When you're done, click on the "check database" button of the HikaShop configuration and then the "rebuild" button of the categories listing so that the category data gets straighten up in the database.
