Remove all tags from photographs?

[McGraw]

Hello.

I've in the process of trying to sort out the 5000 or so photos on my laptop.

So far I've managed to get rid of all the duplicates and organise them into folders.

My next step is to tag them all properly for easy viewing in Windows Live gallery.

Somehow though, a few tags that make no sense whatsoever to me have worked their way into photographs. For instance, I have a tag called "ste" and it is randomly on some photos even though I only really know one person call Stephen and I don't have any pics of him.

Anyway, I want to remove the tags from all my pics en-masse. I've tried to do it by right-clicking properties on all my photos but this doesn't do anything.

Can it be done and if so, how?

Thanks a lot.

Figured it out.

Deleting all the tag names from Live Gallery deletes all the tag instances from the pics.
