# Delete an Existing Tag

After adding tags to a dataset, Admin-level users can delete one or more of the tags associated with the dataset.

> Deleting a tag will permanently untag all documents with the tag, will permanently remove all choices for the tag, and will permanently delete any classifiers that use the tag. This cannot be undone.
