I just stumbled across this wonderful feature, “delete unused tags”. And it left me wanting more! Continuing the discussion from [A comprehensive guide to Discourse tags](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-comprehensive-guide-to-discourse-tags/121041): > [@Admin guide to tags in Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/admin-guide-to-tags-in-discourse/121041/1): > > ### Tag admin options (Manage tag groups, upload tags, and delete unused tags) > > Go to the tags page on your site and look for the tag admin button to the upper-right of the page: > > ![tag3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/c/e/ce8de9d55ecb3a4b37108dc720301052fd8a7ba4.png) We have many tags with “count: 1” as tag creation is not at all locked down and some folks just treat them as hash tags. I still believe in keeping permissions open for tags, but it’d be nice to be able to periodically weed the garden more easily. I’d love to find ways to nudge people to consider tags as a means to “grouping” related topics and to only create tags when they think (or know!) that they will be used more than once. But in the mean time, I think extending the existing feature to allow for “deleting tags used by less than \_\_ topics” could be a nice improvement that we would use. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ability-to-delete-tags-with-n-topics/159979)._
