            Deleting a category group:

            • Moves it to the Deleted Category Groups section, which is a recycle bin. You can view items in this section but not edit them. It holds category groups for 15 days before they are permanently erased and cannot be recovered. During the 15–day holding period, you can either restore a category group, or permanently erase it immediately.
            • Deletes all categories within that group.
            • Removes all associations between the group's categories and articles or questions.
            • Removes all associations between the group's categories and visibility.
            • As applicable, removes the category drop-down menu from the Articles tab in all channels, the Article Management tab, and your company's public knowledge base.
