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.

I didn't do anything, it just suddenly worked!!! I'm guessing an update has happened centrally.
Fingers crossed for you that it'll just happen for you soon too.
finally, it works
for me under group by labels it shows either standard label names (colors) if they are used
or it shows the labels i renamed to something else
This finally seems to have been sorted!!! I've only got my in-use labels showing!! Thank you Microsoft this is now, albeit eventually, working as expected :D
How did you do it. I can't find any note in the 'help' section? I can still see the Label showing under "group by labels" even though i've taken them off all tasks?

would like to add my vote to the list of being able to delete labels that no longer use. This is not useful when "Group by Label" and the deleted label still appears.
