DeleteTag
DELETE {{baseUrl}}/tagNamespaces/:tagNamespaceId/tags/:tagName
Deletes the specified tag definition. This operation triggers a process that removes the tag from all resources in your tenancy.
These things happen immediately: * If the tag was a cost-tracking tag, it no longer counts against your 10 cost-tracking tags limit, whether you first disabled it or not. * If the tag was used with dynamic groups, none of the rules that contain the tag will be evaluated against the tag.
When you start the delete operation, the state of the tag changes to DELETING and tag removal from resources begins. This can take up to 48 hours depending on the number of resources that were tagged as well as the regions in which those resources reside.
When all tags have been removed, the state changes to DELETED. You cannot restore a deleted tag. Once the deleted tag changes its state to DELETED, you can use the same tag name again.
After you start this operation, you cannot start either the BulkDeleteTags or the CascadeDeleteTagNamespace operation until this process completes.
To delete a tag, you must first retire it. Use UpdateTag to retire a tag.
