Employees have registered competencies in the category/competency area I want to delete – what should I do?

Yes. You can safely delete a category or competency even if it is currently in use by employees. What will happen is that you can still view the employee's registered competencies linked to the category, but no new competencies can be added to it. The category/competency area will become “inactive. You can view inactive categories by checking “show inactive” at the top of the list.
