@Shazib are we not totally removing the categories from DB when deleting?

Hmm, I guess not...

Is this as a result of my recent changes? I will review this evening.

I ran into this problem as well running actual-server:edge-alpine but just edited categories->tombstone for that item 1 to 0 which appeared to fix the issue after I rebooted my container. I haven't looked at the code but I'm guess Module.insertCategory isn't checking that flag / INTEGER.
