actualNoteContentPart: # Deleting a tag
  After you hover on the triple dot next to a tag and choose "Tag Settings," you can delete a tag using the button:
  
  
  Choosing "Delete Tag" from Tag Settings popup
  
  
  Deleting a tag will not impact underlying notes. It will just remove the tag from being applied to notes.
  
  # Deleting all notes with a certain tag
  The tag options menu also exposes the ability to quickly delete all notes that are currently associated with that tag.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This feature is self-explanatory, but ⚠️ do make sure to **double-check whether you are deleting what you think you are deleting**! This operation cannot be undone.
  
  💡 Extra tip: in combination with [Organizing with tags#Adding tags to notes using drag-and-drop](/help/tag_shortcuts_default_shortcut#Adding_tags_to_notes_using_drag-and-drop) , this operation is **the fastest way to delete multiple notes at once**.
  
  # Merging a tag
  Merging two tags together is one of Amplenote's most differentiating features, and an essential aspect of [keeping your tag hierarchy tidy as years pass](/help/five_recommendations_tag_hierarchy_naming) .
  
  
  You can see the count of notes in the base help tag jump by 4 when we merge in amplenote/help
  
  
  💡 **Consider**: if you merge a tag that has descendant tags, the path of those tags will be merged alongside with the tag you chose. [Example]()  
  
  # Multi-note selection to operate on complex tag queries
  If you want to make changes to multiple notes at once, but [your search query is more complex]() , check out [Multi-note selections and bulk actions#Operations on complex tag queries](/help/multi_note_selections_bulk_actions#Operations_on_complex_tag_queries) .
