Hi, I removed the tag "step" from all my repo documents, also from Archived Docs, but the tag is not removed fro my tag list. Coan you help me to resole this issue?  
Many thanks,

Hi Alessandro,

Thank you for contributing again to the Prismic community,

To do this, you need to remove the tags from all docs. Archived and published, then the tag will disappear.

Hi! Apologies for re-opening up an otherwise open-and-shut case, but I've got a specific repo (enoughforall) in which this solution doesn't appear to work.

 ![e4a_archive-tab](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/0/0f32709a945f846b72c6b06135edd8cdf5ddba6e.png)

As you can see from these screenshots, there are tags in my repo which don't appear to exist in the Archive, Planned, or Work sections. There are 5+ tags which have this specific issue. Is this a caching issue, or is there a problem with how I'm searching for tags? Thanks so much!

Hi @Pau, I would like to mention that we also have a repository with a "hanging" tag. As the tags are loaded in our webapp and displayed to the end-user, we would like to remove it.  
All the other tags were "disconnected" and have been auto-removed by the Prismic system.

What would be the appropriate next steps?  
Pavle

Good news, we have deployed a fix for this. Are you still experiencing this issue? Clearing it up might require manual actions on your end, could you reach out in this thread for more details if this is still a problem for you? Thanks!
