Here is a nice hack to delete a tag from all your photos which contain that specific tag. It is easy once you know how.


If you use a tag frequently on flickr and then decide you don’t like that tag anymore, what can you do? Using this little method you can remove that tag from all your photos.

1. Login into Flickr

2. Type in this link into the address bar of your browser:

http://flickr.com/photos/me/tags/tagtodelete/delete

(Of course, change tagtodelete to the actual tag that you want removed from your pictures.)

You will get a confirmation screen:

Delete this tag?
tagtodelete

(0 of your photos use this tag. Deleting it here will remove it from all of them.)

3. Confirm to delete the tag

    I’m getting a Filckr tag on images on my computer – specifically a logo used in Yahoo mail. How can I get that removed? It shrank my logo so that it is now unreadable.

    Thanks
