    Did you try changing the default category by going to Options -- > Writing?

    I am almost sure that you can't delete Main category because its the default category as set in your options. richrf suggestion is accurate, change your default cat to something else and you can delete it after that.

    Yep. The Default category is undeletable. I think it's because the WP guys didn't want us to kill our blogs the moment we deleted ALL our categories. It also has some additional functions but you do get the point right?
