If it is permanent, is there a way of "resetting" it?
I am not sure what you are asking. Manage Tags works on the tags "at the moment", possibly taking into consideration a virtual library. Changes made on that dialog take effect when you press OK, at which point the changes are permanent and cannot be undone short of restoring calibre's database.

Thus, if you delete a tag then it removed from all books in the current virtual library, if there is one and the box is checked. In most cases the tag is gone -- removed from calibre's database. The only time it is not removed is if you are using a virtual library and the tag exists in books not in the VL.
