Before I make a mistake of humongous proportion, I'd like to know for sure: if I delete a category with linked products in it, the products won't be deleted and will remain in the other category, right?
Thanks for your time!

Thanks for the tip. Since there was only around 20 items in the category I was deleting, I could verify all of their master category one by one. Everything went well.
I have to note that the warning message before the delete just said the consequence would be faulty prices, not complete deletion so you could be wrong. If you're not, then the warning should be changed ASAP.
