did you empty the article trash? If not then this is expected behaviour and
the error message is correct

You cant empty the category trash until any article that is assigned to the
category is completely removed. Otherwise you would not be able to restore
the article.

1. Create a new category
2. Create a new menu "List all categories" and choose that new category.
3. Create an new article to that new category Check all work and then delete the new article, the new menu and then the new category.

yes thats strange I empty the article trash and the menu trash but could not empty the category trash for some reason..

NOTE any trashed article that is in a category that is trashed will not
appear in the list of articles that can be trashed.

You must empty the article trash BEFORE you try and delete the category

If you do it in the wrong order then the article will still be there but
you cant see it. If you check the DB you will find it there. Quick fix is
to change the article state from -2 to 1 in the DB - then it is published
again and you can do things in the correct order

Hope that helps

I have find what is left in the db menu table now. Its the "main-menu-en" that point and have jumped to the only article in the system index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1 with published 1 flag.

So for some reason that seems cause of the problem and I dont know how this could happen..ok I will delete that db record and the problem should be solved.
