I simply remove all tags no matter what, and if I decide I want a tag I will add it myself, by hand.

I find I am much happier that way. Also, I still haven't found a useful tag that I want to add, other than "anthology" and "omnibus" and some tags that track what I am doing with certain books.

How do you select all the books in your library? I want to remove ALL tags as I find them irritating (how many different ways can you write "Mystery & Detective"???).

@SusieQ100 - if you don't want any tags downloaded then :

Click image for larger version Name: Capture.JPG Views: 176 Size: 104.5 KB ID: 141239

You can also restrict what metadata gets downloaded from which sites - e.g. some people only download 'Tags ' from Goodreads.

You can remove a Tag from all books that have it, via the Tag Browser right click Delete Tag... options.

And you can remove, merge, and correct Tags via the Alter Tag Browser->Manage authors...->Manage Tags feature -- IMO this is the best way to do a major tidy up of Tags and other categories.
