Comment (by adrianosilva):

 I will probably die and not see this ticket closed. I'm not even in the WP
 world anymore, so nostagic seeing this all here haha.

 > I have taken a look through the ticket and everyone's comments, and
 using these I have attempted to replicate this issue in the latest purely
 using the back office / WP cli, and I was unable to. I have tried all of
 the methods mentioned previously alongside my own theories, and I no
 longer believe that this is an issue within WordPress. I am unable to pin
 point when this issue was fixed in the changelogs, but I can see code has
 changed in quite a few if not all of the functions related to deleting a
 category / term over the last decade.

 > As of such I believe that we can safely say this issue has been
 rectified and we should close this ticket. Of course just adding the
 `close` tag leaves the ticket open for further conversation before finally
 closing the ticket, so if there is any more to add to this please feel
 free to. 😃
