How can you delete categories in Outlook?

Got too many categories in Outlook? Let’s sort that out. First, I’ll show you how to delete categories.

1. Start by opening the Color Categories dialog box.
2. Once you’re there, pick the category you want to toss.
3. Then, hit the Delete button. It’s on the right side, easy to spot.
4. A little message pops up. It asks if you’re really sure. Click Yes if you want to go ahead.
5. Click OK to wrap things up.

Why bother? Deleting categories makes your Outlook tidy. No one wants a cluttered desk, right? You can always create that category again if you need it later. But remember, deleting it doesn’t wipe it from emails or tasks. The label sticks around, even if the color goes.

So, keeping your categories neat helps you focus. Just like cleaning out your closet makes it easier to find what you need.
