I would like to delete some obsolete tags that I created. They clutter up the drop-downs and make management more difficult.

×Unlike @hansen ’s experience, it never removes tag itself once all resources are removed from it. So it will appear in dropdowns and could go on nerves for some people.
You can’t delete tag via Control Panel, but you can use API, in two ways:
doctl compute tag delete mytag. That way, you should be able to delete tag and it will not appear in dropdowns
@xMudrii Now I see, it’s the interface drop down. I use the API, so didn’t notice how the interface works.
Hi @pingtechgroup
When you remove a tag, so it isn’t used anywhere, then it should automatically be removed.
You can use this URL to list all tags called mytag (example) and from there you can edit each connection, so they don’t contain that tag.
