Hi,
Ive been using Evernote for a while now and have to say its amazing. Just one problem, overtime I have accumulated many tags, many that I dont use anymore and a couple I created accidentally. I was wondering how I could delete these unused ones (cannot be renamed as I have tags with the requires names already).
Thank you.

Yeah. Slowly and reasonably carefully, and unfortunately completely manually.
Show unassigned tags
Expand tags in left panel
Look for zero count tags that are not parent tags
Delete when found (left click, delete) or (right click -> delete)
Rinse and repeat

Ive gone to view and checked 'Show unassigned tags'
but I dont get what you mean after that? How do you 'expand tags' in the left panel?
Thanks for everyone trying to help btw.
Edit: I am using EverNote on Windows, 4.5.3.

Right click where exactly? I cant find a place where my tags are located to try this.

First, this is a user's board. People volunteer their time here. The exceptions are those who's profile shows them as EN employees. They do answer here, but it's as time permits. There is no guarantee you will receive a reply within a day, much less a few hours.
Second, in the left pane, there is a triangle to the left of the word 'tags'. That's how you expand/collapse the list of tag names.
I'm not affiliated with Evernote. I'm just an Evangelapologist. Evernote is an integral part of my life.

When the next beta comes out, please try "Select Unassigned Tags" in the [Debug] menu. To enable [Debug] menu start Evernote with /DebugMenu command line option. Right click any selected tag to delete all currently selected tags in one shot. Hope this helps until we find a better way to expose this functionality in the UI...

Yes, but when you right click, shouldn't a delete option appear on the right-click menu? Not seeing it. Not seeing it when I try to delete a notebook, either.
