Upgrade StorageDeleting Automatic Tags Will Not Work
I don't use tags (I plan to, but it's not something I currently do). So, all the tags I have in Zotero are automatic.
I just selected the option to delete automatic tags, and I got a message saying 900 tags will be deleted... but there's still a whole bunch of tags in the tag list. I did not create them, and the option to delete automatic tags is now greyed out.
The tags themselves also keep greying out. Once this happens, in order to edit/delete a tag I need to restart Zotero so they are no longer greyed out.
Is there a way to delete these in bulk? I looked at the documentation, but I could only see how to delete individual tags (bulking editing refers to renaming).
Note: I'm using Beta (5.0.97-beta.1+586a6f1dd), so it may be just a beta issue (?)

You can end up with manual tags you didn't create if you do an import from a file — Zotero has no way of knowing that they're not tags you created in an other program.
There's not currently a way to delete all non-automatic tags, but this is planned. They would be grayed out if you have Display All Tags in This Library enabled and you're in a collection where the tags don't match any items (so you can drag items to them). They'll never be grayed out in the library root.
