Hello there,

I managed to download the backup from the site directly and I can see this issue is similar to https://wpml.org/errata/taxonomies-are-not-deleted-with-the-delete-content-from-database-option/

Can you please follow the steps as mentioned here and see if it helps.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Hello,

Yes, please go ahead and delete those menus manually. As for the one that isn't translated, you can leave it as is — it should be removed automatically after pressing the button.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks!

Hello there,

The only option as of now is to manually delete them.

Thanks
