# Deleting categories

## Settings \> Categories

If you want to delete a category, you can do that by going to **Settings \> Categories** and clicking on the X sign next to that category. The system will then ask you to confirm your decision.

Note that if you have active registrations under that category, you will not be able to delete it — the system will alert you that there is at least one active application that uses the category.
