How can we easily manage/delete tags?

Hello, I'm wondering if the ability to manage tags has been addressed? God forbid you misspell a tag and end up having to be extra mindful when choosing the tag with the correct spelling. I have several files that I'm tagging and this task becomes very tedious. Having the ability to delete "bad" tags would be a great feature!

Hey @isickles, thanks for posting to our Community!

I moved your post to a thread of its own, as the original thread was a pretty old one.

Would you mind clarifying what you'd like to accomplish exactly?

If you have a specific idea for a new feature, you can also post it to our Ideas section.

I'd definitely suggest taking a look at Emma's tips before posting your idea and once you post it, other users can see and up-vote it.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi Hannah,

I wanted to comment on this thread. I use a website bookmarking tool that has excellent tag management features, and I would appreciate similar functionality in Dropbox. With this tool, I can easily access the tag management area to review all the tags in my account. This allows me to remove misspellings, update outdated tags, and consolidate similar ideas into a single tag. Here are a few examples from the "B" category.

Let's say I want to modify the tag back.

Hovering triggers the option to edit or delete the tag itself:

Clicking the tag displays all of the assets that have the tag of back. This asset is no longer needed (as the website no longer exists), so I can delete the tag from the system, then delete the asset altogether in another step.

Thanks for the suggestion, @FFHC!

I've passed this along to the team.
