If you want to remove a channel category from your community sidebar, you’ll first need to move or delete all of the channels inside that category.
Here's how to do it:
-
Move or delete all channels inside the category
- You can drag each channel into a different category (How-to article here)
- Or, if the channels are no longer needed, delete them from the channel settings
- You can’t delete a category if it still has channels inside it
-
Hover over the category name
Move your mouse over the category name in the left sidebar. You’ll see a⋯three-dot menu appear to the right. -
Click the three-dot menu and select “Delete Category”
Once all channels are removed, click the three dots and then “Delete Category” to permanently remove it.
Why would you want to delete a category?
- You’re consolidating channels and want a cleaner sidebar
- You’re retiring an old program, cohort, or content type
- You want to reorganize and start fresh with a better structure
