To remove some tags from selected books:
  • Select the books marked with the tag you wish to remove
  • Click Edit meta information↓Edit metadata in bulk (or press 'E')
  • In the Remove tags field, type the tag(s) to remove
  • Swell foop accomplished

To remove a tag from the database:
  • Highlight a single title in the main window
  • Click Edit meta information or press shortcut key E to open the Edit Meta Information dialog
  • Click the Open Tag Editor icon to the right of the Tags: field
  • If the tag to remove is in the Applied tags column on the right, select it, then click the 'x' icon to the right of the Applied tags column to move it to the Available tags column on the left.
  • Select the tag(s) to remove in the Available tags column.
  • Click the trash can icon to the left of the Available tags column to delete the tag(s) from the database.
  • Click OK to exit the Tag Editor dialog
  • Click OK to exit the Edit Meta Information dialog
