Thanks Doitsu
I will try TagMechanic in a couple of days - I am in the middle of cleaning extraneous stuff and backing up my hard drive

Update: I used a combination of TagMechanic and Find/Replace to clean it up. TagMechanic did most of the work, but there were some minor things left over that had to be removed.
