To delete a space category in Mews Operations, the space category cannot have any future reservations assigned to it. This rule counts both the requested category and the assigned category of a reservation. The requested category is the space category the guest booked, and the assigned category is the space category the reservation is currently placed in. You use the Reservation report in Mews Operations to find every current and future reservation that still uses the space category, and then you move each reservation to a different space category. Once no reservation uses the space category, you can delete the space category. To delete the space category itself, go to How to delete a space category in Mews Operations; if the space category is also mapped to your channel manager integration, go to How to delete a space category from the Channel Manager Integration in Mews Operations.
