mrgoerend 89 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have a lot of tags that were created through IFTTT.com recipes that I no longer use. Is there an easy and quick way to select all unused tags and delete them. I want to delete them and not ignore them because they come up as autocomplete options when tagging and it's a nuisance.

Level 5 Adjusting 276 Posted April 9, 2013 Level 5 Share Posted April 9, 2013 There's no single step way to do this.Here's the easiest way I've found: - Click on Tags- Sort by Note Count- Hold down the command key- Click on all of the tags with count of 0- Control-click (or right click) on one of them- Select 'Delete Tags…'- Confirm the delete Link to comment
mrgoerend 89 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 It would be nice if we could use shift-click to select all tags between the two we've clicked (click the first, hold shift and click the last and it selects all between) instead of just command-clicking them one at a time. The other issue is that on the Mac client, if you click outside a tag it inexplicably unselects all the tags you've clicked. So I have to be extremely careful about command-clicking more than a few tags otherwise I risk losing all the command-clicking I've done. Link to comment

I don't see a way to sort the tags in the Windows client either.The original question was about the Mac client. Link to comment

tatoosh 0 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 push, where to this on Windows Version?? Link to comment
ecp 0 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 push, where to this on Windows Version??I'd like to know too. Deleting multiple tags won't work on the PC for me.Deleting multiple tags would be a useful feature saving EN users countless cumulative hours and hours.When you add someone elses notebook to your account - when they use tons of tags - makes for a cluttered sytem for you when you use a limited set of tags.

TheGooch 25 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 You can use shift-click now, I do think a menu-driven function to delete unused tags would be helpful, but sorted by count and then deleting the tags with zero counts is very simple to do ( now ). Link to comment
RobLewis 26 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Good idea. I have a lot of tags I created by accident. Link to comment
Hakim Amdouni 0 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The simplest way I found on PC: Just drag & drop the tag(s) to Trash. The Delete menu option may not be active in some cases (probably when inherited from shared notes). Link to comment
olytitan80 6 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I would like to know how to delete unused tags when I am logged in online. Is there a way? If not can I request it be added. Link to comment
olytitan80 6 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I can't find a way to sort by # of tags online either. I just noticed I have a bunch of tags that I never intentionally made and have no idea why they are there, so I'd like to ditch them as well. When at work, I use the Evernote clipper to save things to my personal account and use the online version to type things in and change rather than the downloaded version. Link to comment

BlueSailorNik 1 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 How does one actually delete these 0 count tags. The delete key has no effect, and the "delete" option in the "Edit" menu is grayed out, thus not selectable. I can't find any other notation about "deleting selected' or similar anywhere else in the Evernote Desktop version 6.0.11 running on my MacBook Air with OS X 10.10. Clues? Hints? Diagrams? Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment
floatingshift 1 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I too am having trouble with deleting those 0 count tags. The Pinterest slide above has no effect on my MacBook Pro Retina (running OS 10.10.3, Evernote 6.0.3). Just found some great tips for cleaning up my Evernote and now can't tidy up my tags, very sad.

CCostan 9 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 It would actually be great to just auto delete any tag that doesn't have any notes associated with it. The tags are so easy to create during note creation that when the note count reaches 0, the tag should just auto delete. There really should be no need for user intervention. Allowing the system to do it makes it much more usable across all the platforms. -Carlo. Link to comment
