Category Fiasco

The category module turned out to be pretty unstable. The issues were not updated often. The taxonomy wrapper was enabled in order to be able to import terms, but it squished the acidfree taxonomy and has sql errors and did not classify everything very well. So I disabled The taxonomy module, and thankfully the acidfree structure returned, intact! However, it did not undo whatever it added to views. Views filter still has all the taxonomy terms listed, and the f irst refers to acidfree. The previous way to filter by acidfree albums is not there anymore in the views filter section. So, How to get the previous acidfree filter back into views? How to remove category remnants from taxonomy? -- This is important because now that I've decided not to use category module anymore, I will have to create taxonomy terms that are all the same as those that show in views filter area (but not in admin -> categories link for taxonomy). The items are still there in admin -> category for category module., but I doubt that those items are linked to the views list anymore. The other problem will be access control. The cac_lite module will have to be replaced by tac_lite, all rules will have to be transferred and existing content will have to be retagged.
