Yes, when there are only 40 different tags in these 3000 notes

Yes

Than you have more than 40 different tags in the selected Notes.

In the meantime I started some manual cleaning, it was long and boring but it's almost over :wink:

It will at least have allowed me to discover your plugin which is very practical, thank you for it and thanks for your replies :slight_smile:

That's it, I finished all my tags cleaning :sweat_smile:

But there is something that I find strange, the deleted tags are always suggested by the Tagging dialog of your Tagging plugin @JackGruber

For example, I deleted several "digikam x.x" tags with version numbers to keep only one "digikam" tag (without version numbers).

If I open the Joplin integrated tag manager and search for this label, only one is found, normal, it's the only one I kept:

but if I do the same search in the Tagging dialog of the Tagging plugin, the kept tag is displayed but also all those that I deleted:

How is this done, should I be worried about it and if so, how do I remove these "ghost" tags?

Thanks :slight_smile:

The tags are still in the database, just not assigned to a note.
The plugin shows all tags available in the database, the Joplin tagging dialog shows only the tag assigned to a note. But if you also create a tag there that already existed before, it uses it again and does not create the same one again.

Thank you @JackGruber for these explanations :slight_smile:

And can and should I delete these old labels from the database?
Does it impact performance? I plan to add my Android phone in synchronization, I did this cleaning, among other things, telling myself that it might make synchronization faster...
