category id 1 is Junk category, and you can't delete that one (it's used by
the Junk Filter for setting Junk status and must be id 1, so can't be
removed). You can delete any other one, but don't try by id unless you know
that id actually exists. If you ever deleted (in the UI) the category that
happened to be category id 2, that means there is no longer any such
category.
Start out by deleting by index or name:
delete category 2
or
delete category "Personal"

otherwise.
