For more information about the Tags Database functions and examples of how to use them, see Edit the tags database during run time.
Also, please note that executing this function does not completely remove the specified project tag from the tags database. That is not possible, due to how the database is maintained during run time. Instead, executing this function removes all uses of the specified tag in the project, so that they do not count against the tag limit on your runtime license, and then it reduces the tag to a single blank line in the database. Therefore, any time you execute this function to remove tags, you should stop the project as soon as it is practical to do so and then verify the project to remove the blank lines. For more information, see Verify the project.
