There is no way at all to remove the uncategorized category from a wordpress.com webblog. It’s not even possible with a self hosted wordpress w/o extensively hack the theme and the core.
The uncategorized category is a placeholder for a post not having any category. You can’t even delete that category to not have any categories.
So sorry but the answer is no, there is no way to remove categories. Not on wordpress.com and only with a lot of changing the overall design of wordpress on a own copy.
