Deleting "Administrative Time" categories in PWA 2007

[anovak]

Well, I mistakenly created a few "Administrative Time" records in PWA
and now can't delete them from within the app.

Could someone provide insight into how you could delete the records
via SQL against the database? I assume there's only one table to deal
with.

Thanks,

I am not aware of any way to do this either.

Other than it annoying you to look at, what are the issues with just leaving
them there and disabling their usability. If you ever need to create a new
category, you can overwrite the name of an existing one you don't currently
use instead of creating yet another one that can't be deleted. Just a
suggestion, I would think that starting to mess with the backend SQL is more
danger than its worth in this case.

Its just darned irritating. I wonder if this is by design or a
flaw? Seems to me there's nothing wrong with those being one of the
enterprise objects you can delete, especially since you can delete
timesheets
