Hawkeye 0 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm a newbie to Evernote. I'm trying to delete unused tags. I cannot find any doc that identifies how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction? ThxHawkeye Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted February 5, 2015 Level 5 Share Posted February 5, 2015 In Evernote Windows, just right-click on the tag in the left column. RenameDelete Be careful with delete. Once it is gone, it is gone. Link to comment

logandb 227 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 You can also purge all unused tags by holding [CTRL] and clicking on the help menu. One of the 'hidden' options is to delete all unused tags. Link to comment

One of the 'hidden' options is to delete all unused tags. Wow! I tried that with the DELETE UNUSED ACCOUNT TAGS and it killed 657 tags. I wish I knew what they were before it deleted them. A quick glance at my notes indicate the correct tags on my notes are still there. I think I saw sort of warning about using the CTRL & HELP combination by one of the Evernote Support people. Do you know what the following CTRL & HELP "FIX" feature does / and when should it be used? * Fix Current Note* Fix All Notes* Fix Lost Resources Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted February 6, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 6, 2015 There's a reason that the Ctrl+Help is implemented that way: it's intended for specific support situations. It would probably be a good idea if they were documented, but those operations aren't really intended for general use. Link to comment

I haven't tampered with the 'fix...' options. Link to comment

I haven't tampered with the 'fix...' options.I used the "Delete unused linked tags" a few weeks ago; cleaned up tags from linked notebooks that were no longer around. Worked fine. Haven't had cause to use any of the others. Link to comment
