Magento 2 Default category shows on menu even though I have "Include in Menu" disabled

[abimaelmon9889]

Ever since I did a setup:upgrade I've been having some issues with the Admin not doing what it's supposed to do, particularly on the Catalog > Categories section.

Default Category on Admin 

As you can see, on the backend I'm not including it on the menu.

Default Category on frontend 

But it still shows up regardless. 

I'm able to remove the other categories (although sometimes, for some reason, all of them except Default get removed and it's hard to get them back) but no matter what I do the Default category won't go away.

Hello @abimaelmon9889 

Kindly refer below link:

It may help you to create category tree!
Thank you.

Hi @Bhanu Periwal thank you for your reply. 

As you can see on this picture, the category tree is already created. It's just the Default category shouldn't be in the frontend top menu. Having 'Include is Menu' as 'no' should remove the Default category from the frontend, but for some reason it's not working.
