Moving Blogs to Different Categories & Deleting Categories

I can't find a way to move blogs I've made to other categories I've created. I see where I am able to click on a blog entry and select "Move," however, when I do this my other blog categories do not show up as options to where I am able to move the blog entry.

Also, I see no way to delete the blog categories that I've created. 

Please let me know if there is a way to do both of these things, as I was unable to figure this out.

In my personal blogs, for example, I have created categories like USA or Canada where certain blog posts go. I am unable to move blog posts from one category to another, or for example, to delete a duplicate USA category that I accidentally created. 

PS - These categories were made under a larger blog name, for example: Product Recalls is the name of my blog.

In the Blogs application, you would need to edit the blog entry to change the category. I'm afraid, there is not a mass move or other means of a category move at this time. You're more than welcome to submit a suggestion in our Feedback forum for this though.

I tried that, but I am unable to move a blog entry by editing it. When I edit a blog entry I am unable to see the other categories I have created.

There should be a category field for you to select this. Could you please provide a link to the entry you're trying to move and the category you're wanting to move to?

An example would be this Blog, which has several categories:

https://www.celiac.com/blogs/blog/1208-gluten-busters-gluten-free-product-alerts-by-celiaccom/

and some have been accidentally duplicated, for example "USA" is there a few times, and I'm unable to move a blog like this one in the Canada category (https://www.celiac.com/blogs/blog/1208-gluten-busters-gluten-free-product-alerts-by-celiaccom/1-canada/ ) :

https://www.celiac.com/blogs/entry/2798-cappola-brand-genoa-salami-recalled-due-to-undeclared-milk-and-wheat/

to any of the USA categories, for example this category:

https://www.celiac.com/blogs/blog/1208-gluten-busters-gluten-free-product-alerts-by-celiaccom/12-usa/

In fact, if I open that blog and select Edit, and then Move, there is no choice at all where it can be moved, and the only area I can see at all is the main blog name (very first link in this post at the top of it), but it is greyed out and cannot be selected.

So that took care of my first question, thank you, I was able to move blogs from one entry category to another.

My other question was how to delete an entry category? I seem to be able to delete only the main blog that the entry category is under, but not specific entry categories which might be empty.

I found out how to do this...it is when you edit the main blog, there is a tab for the entry categories...thank you!
