johnarush 0 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I want to permanently delete a particular tag from my list of available tags. I do not want the tag to exist as an option in my tags list anymore. How can I do this? Using desktop client for windows most recent build. Link to comment
rmw 35 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Click on TAGS on left navigation panel... a popout list of all the tags should appear at that point if you have update from yesterday...find tag you want to delete...click on three dots to right of tag ... several options appear including delete 2 Link to comment
sjrixon 16 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 That's not intuitive. Found it, thanks. And, note counts for tags, I can tidy up some tags now.. Link to comment
JuliFish 1 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I've tried the web version and the Mac desktop version. The three dots are not there. I can't delete a tag, and I also can't edit a tag name. I've been a Premium Evernote user for years and never have had this problem before. Link to comment
catsknit 17 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm on the legacy Windows client so this may not apply but for me it's right click on the tag and it brings up the options. Have you tried that? Link to comment
Gerapolean 1 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I'm am using Premium Evernote (personal) v. 10.6.9 on Windows 10 Pro. I have tried every suggestion I have found on the forum for removing unused tags. Nothing works. I even tried dragging and dropping an empty tag to Trash. Nope. I tried starting Evernote as an admin, but that did not work, either. I can understand needing an admin to delete tags for a business account, but it should not be this difficult in a personal account. Link to comment
redclifford5000 2 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 If anyone is still having issues, this works for me: You have to click on the Tags header at the top of all your tags. A list of tags will then come up to the right and then, you can click on the ellipses (the three dots) by your tag, which finally allows you to delete it. This is cumbersome and unintuitive. It should happen in the main sidebar, but it works for now. 2 Link to comment
