# Add and remove taxonomies: Remove tags

To remove a tag you will need to perform the following:

1. Use `TaxonomyManager` which is the manager class for taxonomies.
2. Lookup the tag as a `FlatTaxon`.
3. Call the manager’s `Delete` method
4. Call the manager’s `SaveChanges` method to persist the changes to the database.

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies;
using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model;

namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Taxonomies.Tutorials
{
   public partial class TaxonomiesTutorialsSnippets
   {
       public static void RemoveTag(string name)
       {
           var taxonomyManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

           //Get the taxon

           var taxon = taxonomyManager.GetTaxa<FlatTaxon>().FirstOrDefault(s => s.Title == name);

           if (taxon == null) return;

           taxonomyManager.Delete(taxon);

           taxonomyManager.SaveChanges();
       }
   }
}
