This method removes the category from the table, so that it is not displayed in the table row or column. The case data is not removed from the base. However, as the category no longer forms part of the table specification, values for deleted categories are not included in any totals or subtotals that you add to the table. You can delete a category either for all tables that use the variable, or for the currently selected table.

In this example, the 65+ years category has been deleted from the variable. For more information, see Deleting categories.
