I can't "delete" the categories

    Hi all,

    On my blog I have few categories which I am not using anymore. They have 0 posts and I want to delete them but when deleting the categories they are not being deleted.

    Here is the screenshot when I hit the delete button - http://i.imgur.com/7EHsCqI.jpg

    It just stuck there and doesn't delete categories, when I refresh the page the categories are still there.

    How can I delete them? I need to delete them because in Google Webmaster Tools I am getting error message about these categories.

    Man, the AJAX interface to delete categories is so frigging slow and half the time they don't delete if you're doing it too fast.

    @competent123 No, I have not tried via phpmyadmin, I don't know how it is done from there :(

    @ssaxena07 What is the other way than Ajax interface? I am easily deleting useless tags using this AJAX interface and it is working fine, but when I come to categories they just don't get deleted.
