Can't delete menu item

Yeah. It's a pain but you're not supposed to be managing your taxonomy inside of the admin/structure/menu anyways. Search around the issue queue for other issues with this same problem, there is a work around suggested in a few of them.

Had the same problem today, the thing was I delete the taxonomy items and the views that created the menu and still couldn't delete the menu items. i finally found a solution and blogged about it here: http://blog.netflowdevelopments.com/2012/08/01/cant-delete-menu-items-in... . Hope that helps

Thanks, this really helped

thanks unc0nnected thats what I was looking for. Quick and easy. For others that might try his method ( http://blog.netflowdevelopments.com/2012/08/01/cant-delete-menu-items-in... ) the links might still display some places, but after I added a new bogus link to my menu everywhere else finally recognized that the others were gone and stopped displaying them.

For anyone else who ran into this issue, looking carefully in your Drupal if you have some unused stuff still called by this menu (views, taxonomy, unused module etc.); if you can delete this stuff, the menu will disappear instantly. Clean directly via db is always risky, take this step only when you are really without any other choice.

Thanks @francescosciamanna! #5 worked a charm - fixed the the link issue in less than 5 minutes having found and updated the related views references and voila! - menu links now gone!

How to solve this issue?
