Deleting Tags and Collections

I have several tags and a couple of collections that I’d like to delete—misspellings, no longer relevant to me, whatever.

I can’t seem to find a place to do this. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

>1 Matke: In "Your Books", at the top of the page next to "List" and "Covers" is a dropdown. Select "Tags" from the dropdown and it will show all of the tags in your catalog. Find the one that is misspelled and click "edit" under it to correct the tag spelling or delete.

For collections, click the collections dropdown in the upper left corner and click "Edit Collections"

Be careful with deleting collections. If you want to keep the book records, move them to another one with power edit before deleting

i have a tag that says "(no tag) (9) which also says "No editing" when scroll over it. When click on it there is no books under it. even though list 9 books in the tag.

How can delete a "no tag" that doesn't have any books in it.

it seems like a website error.

It's not a tag. It's a convenient link to your untagged books. I've replied in your dedicated thread for this concern, with a suggestion about why you're not seeing the 9 books.
