# Delete Categories

You can use the `CategoryDelete` action to delete a category. Deleting a category removes the category from disk and from the IDOL category index. For example:

    action=CategoryDelete&Category=32349987602210557106

In this example, the IDOL Category component deletes the category with the ID `32349987602210557106`.
