  • Click the Open Tag Editor icon to the right of the Tags: field
  • If there are any tags in the Applied tags column on the right, select them all and click the 'x' icon to the right of the Applied tags column to move them to the Available tags column on the left.
  • Select all of the tags in the Available tags column by click-dragging through them, or clicking one tag then pressing Cmd/Ctrl-A to select all.
  • Click the trash can icon to the left of the Available tags column to delete the tag names from the database.
  • Click OK to exit the Tag Editor dialog
  • Click OK to exit the Edit Meta Information dialog
  • Press Cmd/Ctrl-A to select all books in your library
  • Click Edit meta information or press E to open the Edit Meta Information dialog
  • In the Remove tags: field, type '*' (no quotes)
  • Click OK to remove the tags from the individual books. Poof.
