Deleting a tag from a list of multiple tags

[Anthea1]

I have been experimenting with adding tags to files including by creating a folder and automatically have Dropbox assign tags to files added to that folder, which is very helpful. However, even following the Help instructions at https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/sort-preview/dropbox-tags I can find no way to remove a tag if it is not among the first tags listed for that file.  In other words, there is no x to the right of tag to delete the tag if it is, for example, the sixth tag assigned. Is there another way?

Thanks.

Hey @Anthea1, thanks for letting us know about this. 

I tested this on my end and I do see the x on the right of each tag.

Have you tried logging in to your account through a different browser or an incognito/private browsing window, to see if you get a different behavior?

Let me know what you find.

Thank you @Hannah, I didn't need to try another browser. What I didn't see before was that the actual number of tags not immediately visible is underlined, eg,  +3 , and is clickable, and now when I click on the number, these tags show up and, like the others, have the x to right of them.  Problem solved!  Thanks for responding so promptly.

How can I permanently delete a tag from Dropbox?

For example, if there is a duplicate tag or a misspelled tag and I want to permanently remove it from my account.

Hi @PremsonsTrading!

In general, it’s not possible to delete a tag from your Dropbox account altogether; it’s only possible to remove a tag from a specific file by clicking on the X icon that should be showing on it.

This seems like a basic feature to have to manage tags.  I can't believe this hasn't been developed!
