CAUTION: Deleting an entire category or subcategory will also remove the products that reside within that category or subcategory. If you'd like those products to remain in your catalog, we recommend moving them to another category or subcategory first. Read our support article How to Move Products Between Categories or Subcategories to learn how.
1. First login to your Admin Panel.
2. On the left side menu, click Catalog Management. This will open a dropdown menu.
