  1. Issue removing read only tag from folder


    So randomly one of my folders became read only, with 13gb of data in it, and i found this guide to fix it https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/unable-to-remove-read-only-property-of-folders/7f074765-ec49-4654-8419-e1bac6ce3950 but it gets stuck on the "changing ownership" screen. ive waited for an hour and it didnt do anything, i had to use task manager to close it because canceling the action did nothing either. any advice?

    :)

    How to remove bad (misspelled) TAG from Suggested list.

    I have been adding TAGS to images to make them easier to sort. In my haste I spelled a name wrong. Now when I view the DETAILS view pane and then I click into the TAGS bar, and start entering a name, I get a pop-out list of all TAG suggestions starting
    with that letter that narrows down as I add more of the word. But as more and more people get added to the (good) TAG list, the misspelled one is taking up space. Where can I go in Win10 (updates up to Nov 2019) to see and remove unwanted TAGS so they are
    not "suggestions" and removed from the list? It seems reasonable that it would let me even DELETE the entire list and the list would rebuild with tags used in a folder so only a "live" list (yes, maybe even a misspelled one that still needs corrected) would
    soon repopulate.

    IE: I added "Mark" and I added "John", then I was typing and realized that if I right-arrow over the semicolon I could add TAGS for John and Mark to a group of selected pictures, cutting out discrete clicks. In my haste I didn't hit the right-space between
    the names and then hit ENTER to tag the selected pictures. All TAGged as "John Mark"; I realized my mistake, deleted the tag and re-entered them as discrete tags. So, now, when I go to add a tag, and type in "m" there is a suggestion for all my tags that
    start with m, and "John Mark" is in the list. I want to remove "John Mark" as a suggested tag.

    SO: How do I edit to remove bad TAG suggestions in Win10?
     
  3. Removing TAG suggestions

    Is there a way to remove TAG suggestions?

    I use tags for pictures/videos & docs but over time a lot of tags have been created which are misspelt or wrong. I would like to delete these.

    A few people have asked about this before & for some reason the solution given seems to be about removing or editing an individual tag in a single file.I am looking for a solution to remove the list in total.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Vijay.

    Issue removing read only tag from folder

    How to remove bad (misspelled) TAG from Suggested list.

    Please re-read the question. It is how to REMOVE a bad tag suggestion, not how to add a tag to a single image. It is a question on how to remove an unused tag so that it is not a suggestion. In this picture, I have tags of "Snake" "Pen" and a deleted
    tag of "Snake Pen" while attempting to add "Pencil" to an image, and I don't like and want to delete the 4th suggestion of "Snake Pen" from the list.
