Question Category alias retention

Category alias retention was created by DeeEmm
Just stumbled across an issue relating to site category aliases whilst trying to rearrange categories.

If I create a category and then delete it, I am then not able to create another category with the same alias as the deleted category. Instead I get a message like the following:

Code:
Saving category 8 failed: Cannot save category: Alias 'site-support' has already been taken.

Checking the database I can see that even though the category has been deleted it is still present within the #__kunena_aliases table.

I can resolve the issue by I manually dropping the record from the database but this is obviously far from ideal.

Joomla creates the alias, I think deleting database entries from Joomla is just part of the deal that comes with Joomla website management (and probably all the other types of website as well).

What I do is before I delete a Category, rename the Alias to something I won't use again and then create the new one.
