I created a new plan and it came with the Default 6 color Labels for tasks. I do not need that many. How do I delete the unwanted colors/options? I can only find information on editing labels or how to add them to a task.

Once again this seemingly simple problem goes unsolved and once again this really sucks! :-(

2022-04-05T08:31:25+00:00 How unbelievable frustrating to search for instructions how to remove labels and see so many people asking the same thing and absolutely no response from anyone who can fix this! The colours I'm using on the labels match most closely to colours used on various other spreadsheets etc and so I'm having to group by label and flick the furthest across the screen to find what I need. If we are able to rename, edit and delete labels in outlook, why not on planner? Really disappointing on an otherwise really useful app.

Please please please give the ability to remove these unused labels so that it makes the grouping by labels function usable.
