Answers.Text: 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.

Answers.Text: @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!

Answers.Text: @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.

Answers.Body: <p>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.</p>

Answers.Text: Technically 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.
