## Overview
If a discussion tag is no longer useful — for example a freeform tag a member created by mistake — you can remove it from your account settings. This article covers deleting a tag.

## How to delete a discussion tag
1. Go to **Settings → Features → Discussion Categories & Tags**.
2. Scroll to the **Tags** section and find the tag you want to remove.
3. Click the trash icon in that tag's row.
4. In the confirmation dialog, read **Are you sure you want to delete this tag?**.
5. Click **Confirm delete**.

## Things to keep in mind
* Both curated and freeform tags can be deleted from this screen.
* Deleting a tag removes it from the tag list and from the suggestions members see when tagging a Discussion. It cannot be undone — you would need to add it again.
* If members later type the same tag on a Discussion again, it will reappear as a new freeform tag.

## FAQs
**Will deleting a tag remove it from Discussions that already use it?**
Deleting removes the tag from the managed tag list and from tag suggestions. If the same tag is typed again on a Discussion, it is recreated as a freeform tag.

**Can I delete a tag that is in use?**
Yes. There is no restriction preventing deletion of a tag that has been used.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can delete discussion tags. **Content Managers** and **People Managers** can view the tags list but cannot delete tags — the action is blocked by the platform. Other roles do not have access to this screen.
