Take a backup of the database or o_indexes table before proceeding with the steps bellow.
1. Find the id of the category with the issue with the select statement bellow:
select id, caption from o_indexes where caption='category_name'
2. Use the id to edit the table o_indexes by updating the field relational_id, the format for the relational_id is 1-ID, where ID is the id of the category.
For example:
Category name: Sample Category, ID: 400002 and relational_id: "1-400002"
update o_indexes set relational_id= "1-400002" where id=400002
3. Log in Service Desk and verify that you are able to delete the category.
