We have the option in Discourse to delete all unused tags that aren’t attached to topics or personal messages. However, this criteria should also be extended to tags that are part of tag groups. I have a bunch of tags that I need to delete in bulk which aren’t part of any tag groups, topics, or personal messages. I have no way to delete them other than by doing it one by one.
