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:

tagtodelete

3. Confirm to delete the tag
