# How to delete tags?

Whatfix enables you to delete tags that are no longer required.

Note:

- Only user-created tags can be deleted. The default tags that are auto-created cannot be deleted.
- Deleting a tag removes it from the associated content.
- In case you have added certain content to widgets using a tag, deleting the tag removes the content from the widget segment.

Use the following steps to delete a tag:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Tags**. ![ia_left%20nav_tags](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left%20nav_tags.png)
