Assign a different category as the main default and then there will be a checkbox to delete Uncategorized. This category is displayed in the front-end only if there is a product or record, etc.

Rename it to desired.
Or: Settings - writing - get her out of there and then will give you to remove. And while it is listed as default - cannot be deleted - Jarvis.McCullou commented on June 8th 19 at 17:28
how to get her out of there? you can only switch on the articles, but it does not help to remove this category. where did it come from anyway? before the upgrade it was not. - Dagmar5 commented on June 8th 19 at 17:31
I just checked - removing it from "writing" - there is an option removal of the headings.

So you're talking about something else. But without the Scrin do not understand that you do not give where to remove.

It's the usual select - choose a different default category (you also there are more categories? If only one then of course you will not be able to remove your Uncategorized there). - Jarvis.McCullou commented on June 8th 19 at 17:46

You need to create a new ruble in the records of the ruble to create a new one. And the ruble Uncategorized to delete all the records. You can then change the choice in "writing". There, change the "Primary category" and "Category default for the publication in the mail." After that you can delete it. But displayed on the website of the new ruble))) finally decided: I Have a plugin "YITH WooCommerce Category Accordion", removed a Daw and all became norms.

Paste the code snippet into the file functions.php your theme:

<?php // Mind this opening php tag
/**
 * Remove Categories from WooCommerce Product Category Widget
*
 * @author Ren Ventura
*/
//* Used when the widget is displayed as a dropdown
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_dropdown_args', 'rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories' );
//* Used when the widget is displayed as a list
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_categories_widget_args', 'rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories' );
rv_exclude_wc_widget_categories function( $cat_args ) {
 $cat_args['exclude'] = array('55','68'); // here ID of your category
 return $cat_args;
}</property-->

If the category page is derived using the shortcode, try this option [product_categories hide_empty="true"] where hide_empty="true" is responsible for hiding empty categories Uncategorized if is empty, it will not appear. If using the widget categories, there is a checkbox to hide empty categories. On the latest version of woocommerce has not tested, and the 3.2.6 version that works.
