what gbm said

I would first get a handle on variations in metadata and normalize those.

In the Tag browser: select a section to work with:

OK, there are advantages and disadvantages to each of these.

Right click: rename, delete <<working in the Tag browser itself, you get to see what books are affected, simply by making the Red + appear

Right click: Manage << allows you to scroll and fix or delete, but you don't get to see what was affected while working

Each section works the same.

Caution with Series: Your library may have books with the same series names that are NOT in the same series. For those I chose to put the authors initials in paren as a tie breaker Series (AB)

BTW rename to an existing value will merge the tags
