Delete a Tag

Remove a tag that is no longer needed. The devices previously carrying the tag are not deleted — they just lose that one tag.

danger

Deletion is irreversible. If you need the tag later, you will have to recreate it and reapply it to all affected devices by hand.

Steps

  1. Click Tags in the sidebar.
  2. Select the tag you want to delete from the list on the left.
  3. Click the red bin icon in the top-right corner of the tag detail pane.
  4. Confirm by clicking Yes in the Remove tag confirmation dialog, or No / to cancel.
