• Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the Git repository that contains the tag you want to delete.
• Use the git tag command to list all of the tags that currently exist in the repository. Find the name of the tag that you want to delete.

Note that deleting a local tag does not delete the corresponding tag on remote repositories. If you want to delete a tag on a remote repository, you need to use the git push command with the --delete option followed by the name of the tag. For example, to delete a remote tag named v1.0.0 on the origin remote, use the following command:

git push origin --delete v1.0.0
