There might be a reference to it in a schedule or a report.  Or, try
Edit/Find transaction.

Alternatively, do saveas to xml format and search through that for the
category.  Hopefully, its name is unique, or you could rename again.
That may help you find it, but I don't recommend trying to edit that
file, unless you know what you're doing and are very careful.
