Gradually my list of tags is getting too long and I want to remove those tags that I don’t use. The question is not about unchecking these tags, but about how to completely remove them from the list.

Much easier! Check Database. [AnkiDroid 2.16 User Manual](https://ankidroid.org/#_advanced_actions)

No AnkiDroid eu tinha muitas tags que não eram usadas. Provavelmente vieram junto com algumas coleções que importei.  
Como fiz para removê-las?  
Abri o AnkiDesktop. Cliquei em “Ferramentas” e depois “Verificar banco de dados”. Depois sincronizei tudo.  
Abri o AnkiDroid e as tags não utilizadas ainda estavam lá. Cliquei nos três pontinhos que aparecem ao lado do símbolo de sincronizar (no alto da tela, no centro), depois em “Gerenciar tipos de nota”. Deu certo. As tags inúteis sumiram.
