How to delete a Timesheet Special Category and what happens to the hours put against it

Resolution: 
Yes, Timesheet Special Categories can be deleted in Vision.  

To delete a Timesheet Special Category:

1. Go to Configuration > Time and Expense > Timesheet Categories.
2. Bring up the Time Group that the Special Timesheet Category belongs to.
3. Click on the row to be deleted
4. Click on Delete in the upper right of the Timesheet Category grid. 
5. Click Save.

Note: 

• When a Special Timesheet Category is deleted, all historical information pertaining to the timesheet category will be deleted as well. This means that when an old timesheet is opened, the timesheet category will not show. However, the project that the hours are put to will still show.   
• All  timesheets that have hours put toward the timesheet category with the Status of In Progress must be either posted or removed from the timesheet prior to deleting the timesheet category. If an error is received - Category has data and/or references in open timesheet(s), the special category cannot be deleted because there are timesheets that have hours to the timesheet category on a timesheet that has the Status of In Progress. Once all hours are removed from the timesheet category or the timesheets are posted, try deleting the special timesheet category again.
