Answers.Text: Just deleting the rows in the database `elements` table doesn't remove them from the `content` table, so probably best to do it via PHP or Twig.

Comments.Text: I use categories in one project before. But since there is not need for grouping filters in this one, I decide to use tags. I was not aware that there is`t tag management system build in CraftCMS since I need it.

Title: How to delete tags in Craft CMS 3
ThreadText: # How to delete tags in Craft CMS 3
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-29)
  
  I want to delete some of the tags that are entered in the system.
  
  Since there is no way to do that in Control Panel, and there is not a valid plugin that can do this (know that from my [previous question](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/27492/still-not-able-to-manage-tags-in-craft-3/27499#27499)).
  
  The only way to delete tags is in the database. So I found [this](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/1115/how-do-i-delete-a-tag#comment1929_1118) comment. I think this is for CraftCMS 2, but is it still the same and for CraftCMS 3?

  Yes the same still applies. You can either delete it via DB directly in your `{{%elements}}` column or you can just run
  
  ### PHP
  
  ```php
  Craft::$app->getElements()->deleteElementById(x)
  
  ```
  
  ### Twig
  
  ```twig
  {% do craft.app.getElements().deleteElementById(x) %}
  
  ```
