Unwanted "Everything else" entries in budget reports (Income and Spending)

Question

The last entry in the Income section of the budget report an unscheduled category " "Everything else" appears with a large entry in the budget column. It also appears in several places in the spending section of the report. Where do these come from and how do I eliminate them?

Are you using custom "category groups"?  If so that doesn't change fact that it is a bug but using the default category groups could maybe be a workaround?

I am continuing to have this issue since feb 2025.  it is NOT the issue where only some sub categories are selected in the planning tab, those make sense and appear as a sub category, but my report has phantom everything else categories at the category level (like it is a separate category) not as a sub-category catch all.  This is most definitely a bug and I am flabbergasted that it has been a year with no resolution.  I was in software development and production support (retired now).  This cannot be that difficult of an issue to resolve.
