Problem with Category-Tag Converter

I’m having a problem with the converter. I had a category, “school” that I wanted to convert to a tag. That tag already existed, and I got the message “Category is already a tag.” It seemed odd to me you can’t convert a category into an existing tag, but whatever. So I deleted the tag from all of my posts. I waited the annoying 12 hrs for the cloud to update, the tag is gone.

And yet, when I run the converter again, I STILL get the “Category is already a tag.” warning. So the system still thinks it exists. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Just an FYI to staff, but not all of my categories show up on the import page to change to tags and I would be happy to tell you which ones in testing if it helps out ;)
