What issue do you have?

I have been updating and rationalizing tagging on one of my computers but when I sync back to another, the tags don't appear to be syncing properly.

Specifically, I deleted some tags and merged others.

  • The deleted tags are still present in computer 2 after syncing.
  • The merged tags sort of work - the tag I merged into is there and I think all the correct notes are tagged, but the old tags are still present

I am syncing to a directory within my home dir on each system and keeping those synced via rsync.
Just had a thought that the problem might be coming from the rsync step. Do I need to use the --delete flag with rsync in this situation?

Yes, you will need to use the --delete flag with rsync for the sync to correctly delete items
