Deleting Keyword Tags or Albums

There will be plenty of times when you create a keyword tag or an album and later decide you don’t want it anymore. Here’s how to get rid of them:

Step One:

To delete a keyword tag or album, start by Right-clicking on the keyword tag or album you want to delete in the Keyword Tags or Albums palette on the right side of the Organizer, and choosing Delete Keyword Tag or Delete Album from the pop-up menu.

Step Two:

If you’re deleting a tag, it brings up a warning dialog letting you know that deleting the tag will remove it from all your photos and Smart Albums, and if you used this keyword to tag a person, it will be removed from the People Recognition System. If you want to remove that tag, click OK. If you’ve got an album selected, it asks if you’re sure you want to delete the album, and lets you know that if you used that album in a Smart Album, it’ll be removed from there, as well. Click OK and it’s gone. However, it does not delete these photos from your main catalog—it just deletes that album.
