Where in the Craft Control Panel can I globally delete a tag?
Not from a specific entry, but completely out of the system.

Currently it’s not possible to delete tags (or otherwise manage them).

Can I access it via phpmyadmin and delete the tag from the DB?– oshCommented Jul 16, 2014 at 11:14

@Oyvind you'd have to delete it from all the tables the tag is defined or referenced ('craft_tags', 'craft_relations'!!, 'craft_entryversions', ...). I wouldn't recommend doing it!– carlcsCommented Jul 16, 2014 at 11:45

9@Oyvind You just need to figure out the tag ID, and then delete that row in craft_elements. All the other tables will take care of themselves from there. Commented Jul 16, 2014 at 17:10

Is this still the case? No way to manage tags yet? If you misspell a tag, it auto-populates when you try to spell it correctly.– jthomasCommented Nov 30, 2016 at 20:42

2@jthomas You can edit tags by double-clicking on them after selecting, to change their name and custom fields. Commented Feb 27, 2017 at 19:32
I was searching for a way to do this as well, and as the answer indicates, it's not possible. However, by double-clicking on a tag you want to delete you can rename it to something else – so you can't delete it, but you can change it. You just have to remember when it comes time to create a new tag to rename that existing tag instead of creating a new one.
There is a third-party plugin called Tag Manager that let's you delete tags.

Delete the Tag Field in Settings > Fields.

This answer is incorrect. The correct answer is:
Currently it’s not possible to delete tags (or otherwise manage them).

That doesn't make sense, cause I don't want to delete all tags, just two specific tags.– oshCommented Jul 15, 2014 at 13:03

Each tag is contained in its own field. Therefore, just delete the fields that contain the tags you want to get rid of. Screenshot: cl.ly/Wa57 Commented Jul 15, 2014 at 13:11

1Technically tags are stored within their Tag Groups, not the actual fields. Deleting a Tags field won’t actually delete any of the tags in the group – only deleting the group will do that. Commented Jul 15, 2014 at 13:16
