I recently took on adding some family members movies to my library. I wanted to keep all of the movies under one Movie folder while having different tags / labels for sharing. I created a label for sharing and realized that I typed it wrong. There are currently no movies that are tied to the label but it doesn’t appear that there is a way that I can delete the label. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the unused label? Thank you! ---

Unused tags/labels/genres should get deleted after the next [database maintenance cycle](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201553286-scheduled-tasks/ "database maintenance cycle") and a server restart. ---

STILL having the problem as well. I’ve been following it hoping for a solution, but Plex mods/devs don’t seem to respond to their paying customers ---
