I’ve been using Google Docs since it was Writely. I liked it then and I still do. I get frustrated by the extensive formatting and weirdness when pasting, and boy would I like the page setup to be just like Word, but I won’t go there.
Anyway, I’ve been using the tag feature for a while, and have a tendency to use Google Docs as a backup. For example, I just finished an assignment for a new grad class and I did it locally in Word on my Mac. Just for kicks, and to have it available, I uploaded it to Google Docs.
What I then did was tag it with my course number (EDAT783 for example). Well I messed up. All my other tags were one way and I typed this one wrong.
How do I delete it? I looked and looked and finally found the answer in this google discussion thread.
Turns out once there are no documents tagged with a particular tag, it goes away. So I selected all the documents with the wrong tag (by Browsing using the green button) and then tagged them correctly and then removed the bad tag.
Poof. Gone. Sweet.
Maybe this tip will help someone else!
