(Archived) Can tag names be deleted from the internal master list?

[S_Hillam 10]

I started out using a tag "Prof dev" for one of my notes.  Then, decided to use something different.  (It was the only note where I had used that tag.)  Now, "Prof dev" continues to show up when I select tags...and I can't find any way to remove it from the internal master list of tag names.  Is there a way to purge/delete it or am I stuck with it forever?

I believe that most Evernote clients will let you delete tags. Certainly the Windows client will, as does the Web client.

Jefito: That's great news...but you failed to tell me HOW!  I am using Evernote on my Windows 7 desktop pc running IE9 as well as my iPad mini...and so far, I've not figured out a way to do anything but add new tags and check and uncheck them within my notes.  I am using the free version.  Does it require an upgrade to Premium to do this perhaps?

I didn't tell you how because you never said which client that you are using -- the method of deleting a tag differs between clients.

On the Windows client, right click on a tag in the left panel, and select "Delete...", or select the tag and press Del. This is not a premium feature.

Done!  Thanks!
