You delete a tag by deleting it from the tagged files.
Correcting the step 1: 1. make sure baloo is disabled (In reply to Stefan Brüns from comment #1) > You delete a tag by deleting it from the tagged files. I can delete a tag from the tagged files, but such files are still listed when I click on any deleted tag under "Tags" section of Places panel.
