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 see some changes now, but unused labels haven't exactly disappeared. What I noticed:

    • Unused ones that still have the default names are now at the bottom of the list when picking labels.
    • Group by labels will no longer show empty columns for unused labels with default names.

    So, much improved. 👍🏻

    Hi,

    i found the solution. just rename the label and remove the text, then press enter. Now it is no longer assigned or listed.

    Stay safe.

    If I leave the label empty, then it will reside to the default label title (with the colours in the name). I could enter a space. Then the labels still exist and will be visible, but will be more distinct since it only a small coloured block without text.

    It seems Trello is still the way to go. I hope Microsoft adds the possibility to change / delete / re-order the tags, and the ability to connect the tags with other apps such as SharePoint lists.

    Would really love to delete labels. Would make finding the label I need much less cumbersome.
