Tags - can I remove deleted tags?

[pdurrant]

I'd never bothered with Tags much in calibre. But now that justRead uses tags, I thought I'd better clean them up - I had many hundreds of different tags from books on import, which meant they weren't useful at all.

A session with the calibre tag manager got my tags down to 32. Not all books had tags, but at least the tags that were there were now consistent.

So I updated all the books that needed updating in justRead using the Calibre Books menu item.

But while the tags menu in justRead is now more useful, because the initial menu item just shows the most popular tags, which are now mostly the ones I've set in calibre, if I go to "All Tags...", all the hundreds of old tags still show up.

How can I get the list of tags in justRead to be trimmed to just the tags now present on the books?

Hi pdurrant, thank you for this.
As for now all tags show all the tags, that were historically used, but you are right, only tags, that are realistically present should be shown.
Going to the list and will be in next update.
