Calling on @Mr. LPSG @LPSG Richard @LPSG Simon @Squirrel1 (I'm so sorry if I shouldn't have pinged you all!)
I've posted before about the list of odd categories that are listed on the side of the Gallery tab in this post here.
After messing around with the site options I think I found out how it's happening and successfully made a NEW CATEGORY.
It seems it has to do with creating a Group and trying to make the group have a Media Area without having a Group Discussion Area.
When I tried to make a group with these settings, I get an error message.
I then went to check the Gallery page and lo and behold: It added my Group media category to the Gallery Categories on the left for all to add, permanently! (SORRY I TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH MADE MULTIPLE CATEGORIES, JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS USERS MUST HAVE DONE BY ACCIDENT!)
Hopefully my post can help to make changes to remove those categories (I personally HATE seeing them there, it looks ugly LOL) and to prevent more and more being accidentally created!
