Don't worry if you click on the "trash can" by mistake - you will be able to *Undo* the deletion of the category before you save your changes. If you want to continue with the deletion of the category you just click *Save* and the category will be deleted.

You will be warned if the expense category is used in active expenses and that they will be needed to be updated, in case you delete the category. Choose *Yes* to continue with the deletion.
