# Deleting Categories

You can delete categories created in Veeam ONE Client as well as predefined categories and categories imported manually from a .CSV file. When you delete a category, objects from this category remain in your infrastructure.

To delete a category:

1. Open Veeam ONE Client.
2. In the inventory pane, navigate to the **Business View** node.
3. In the information pane, switch to the **Categories** tab.
4. Select a category that you want to delete.

   To find the necessary category, you can use filters and the search field at the top of the categories list.

   ::: important

   If you delete a category that contains groups included in a plan, these groups of objects will be removed from the plan as soon as the plan will acquire the *DISABLED* mode.

   :::

5. In the **Actions** pane, click **Delete Category**.

   Alternatively, right-click the category and select **Delete Category** from the shortcut menu.
