My list of categories is too long and contains items I have renamed or no longer need.

Hello @CONNORGRAM,
Thank you for contacting the Quicken Community with this question.
You can delete categories by navigating to Window > Categories > Right-Click on the category > Delete Category.
I hope this helps!

Bear in mind that if you delete a category, all transactions that use that category will become uncategorized. As an alternative, you can rename the category to start with a "z" or pretty much any greek letter and it will sort to the bottom of the list, out of your way.
Also, if you have renamed categories that are really the same as another, you can merge them by selecting them both in the Categories Window and clicking the Merge button at the bottom.Quicken Mac Subscription; Quicken Mac user since the early 90s0 -

There is an Idea thread (feature request) from users to add a feature to allow unneeded old categories to be hidden — like you can currently hide old Payees. It has 149 votes, and you should click on it and add your vote if you've like to see such a feature added. (Click the little light gray arrow under the vote counter in the yellow box.)Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19930
