Hi jbenson2,

Great questions! Basically, you are looking for a convenient way to remove tags in Evernote, am I right?

I know of 2 ways to do that (in the Windows client, anyway):

1. Point your mouse at the tag you want to remove, just at the tail-end of the word, and click to edit, then click again to remove the highlight, and either drag across the word and backspace or delete (or just manually type in your new tag. I find this fairly simple and quick to do.

2. When you have selected the post you want to edit, click the Tag button on the toolbar above. It will open a small pop up that lists your tags with check boxes. Since they are all in numeric/alphabetical order, it is a fairly simple matter (with good naming conventions) to then scroll down to 0-Inbox or October and deselect the tag(s) you don’t want. You can then scroll to and click the tag(s) you do want, or begin typing the tag in the Add box (it will auto-suggest as you type), or close the pop up and drag the item to the desired tag.

I hope that helps. If anyone else knows of a better or more convenient method to play tag, please let us know.

Using the web client or mobile clients, of course, will function somewhat differently. Mobile especially can be a pain, as the editing features are somewhat screwy, but I have yet to discover a situation with tags (for me) that can’t wait till I am on the desktop client — I live with my laptop though.
