I have filtered for them yes. It appears many have had this problem even after filtering and making sure they aren’t assigned to anything. Furthermore I didn’t create the labels with just the space only the ones with the + in the middle. Here are some more examples of unresolved posts that address the same issue. > [@Sharing Labels not removing when not media "tagged" with label](https://forums.plex.tv/t/sharing-labels-not-removing-when-not-media-tagged-with-label/217938/3): > > Hey trumpy… I’d recently switched from Chrome to FF, and the issue was persistant (no “copy from Chrome” option used during FF installed), however I followed the details you provided, and the situation is still the same.

I have tried deleting the TV label from all media and optimizing the database, but the TV label still shows up in my list when assigning labels to movies. Can you help me delete or rename the TV label? > [@Delete labels?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/delete-labels/101727): > > How can I delete a label that is no longer in use? I still see it in the list of available labels, even though it's not attached to anything anymore. Thanks so much for offering to help. Where is the database located? Are there any tutorials I can follow on how to do this myself? Also, is there anyway of me checking to make sure they aren’t associated with any files other than filtering or is that the best way? I’ll probably end up pm’ing you my database and I greatly appreciate your help! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/cant-delete-a-label/465914)._
