(Archived) Deleting a tag

[thewolfe70 7]

I added a tag that I don't want. Can I delete it from the tag list?

[jbenson2 2,147]

Yes, in the Left Panel, right click on the tag and select delete.

Just be sure it is not tagged to another notes.

There shouold not be a number in parenthesis just to the ride side of the tag.

Yes. It does not matter if you've assigned that tag to any notes. If you've assigned that tag to notes (the number in the parens to the right of the tag name), those notes will not be deleted, if you delete the tag.

Glad to help. Before deleting, I always make sure the tag is no longer associated to any other notes.

You're welcome!

How does this work on the new version of Evernote? Right-clicking doesn't seem to do anything anymore.

You can only right-click/Delete on tags that are yours. Any that come from notebooks that are shared to you cannot be deleted or renamed.

The tags I'm trying to delete all come from my own notebooks. I had already deleted the notes associated with them, but the tags stuck around.

EDIT: I just found how to delete them, by clicking on the huge "tags" label on the left sidebar and expanding the tags through there.
