How do I delete unwanted selections from the Tags Drop-Down List?

There are various ways, the one I prefer is to add the Manage categories tool to a toolbar or menu (I have it in the book list context menu)

Select Tags and you get a list where you can edit and delete items.

Can also delete from the Tag Browser. A bit slower than BR's method i think.

For me, if I want to delete one tag, I remove if from the Tag Browser, more tags, I use Manage Categories tools and all tags from group of books, I use the Edit Bulk Metadata tool and it's Clear all.
