Can't delete custom labels?

I’m amazed at how common and old this problem is?! It seems it’s been around for years now with many Plex Pass members complaining and no real solution at hand!
I dare to hope that by now this has finally been resolved…how does one go about it?
As many have mentioned, I have labels with no content and no way to remove them?!
Thanks,

I’ve recently run into this too – it appears this can happen under some circumstances.

There’s a manual fix described in this thread:

short version:

  1. Execute the Plex SQLite app (in the app folder) in the command prompt (power shell, terminal…)
  2. enter .open "<path to database>", pointing to the the com.plexapp.plugins.library.db file in the server data directory (-> Library > Plex Media Server > Plug-in Support > Databases)
  3. enter Delete from Tags where Tags.tag="<name of the tag>" and Tags.tag_type=11; and press return
  4. reload the web app to verify the tag is gone
  5. exit the command shell app by entering .exit and pressing return

Thanks for the reply but…WOW, this is just ridiculous!?
One has to be a computer engineer to be able to simply delete…an unused label!!?
This is crazy stupid and unbelievable it hasn’t been resolved yet after so many years!

I have my PMS on a QNAP NAS so I only use the Web App therefore I can’t even apply this solution - assuming I even knew how!

So the lesson here is to NOT use labels then…just great :unamused:
