Kerrpe: What you do is temporarily rename "thetag" to "temptag" for the tasks that should keep this tag. For the tasks where you want to remove the tag "thetag" you add a tag "tobedeleted". These tasks will not have the tag "temptag" and as "thetag" is deleted in the settings mission is accomplished. Renaming "temptag" to "thetag" returns everything to the original state for the tasks without the "tobedeleted" tag.

I don't get it. As soon as I search for 'tag:"thetag" NOT tag"tobedeleted" I get an empty result (as I would expect since the NOT criteria would seem to eliminate all the tasks for which I just added the "tobedeleted" tag). I'm stuck on the fifth step and now I have two sets of tags that I need to try to delete. Hmmm...

Did you follow the instructions carefully? For example step 2 and 4, selecting and un-selecting?

There's a long-standing item in the Ideas forum which suggests that common tags among the selected tasks be displayed.
