Finder gives me Unexpected Error Code -36 when I try to change or remove tags on the files that are tagged "Home"
Also if I add a tag to a file it doesn't get added to the list in finder.
What can I do to fix this issue? I really like to use the tags...
MacBook Pro
Thanks for taking the time to answer Viking OSX.
I finally solved my problem by using the fix for error code -36
https://macmetric.com/fix-error-code-36-mac/
the dot_clean command in terminal got rid of the files that were causing the problem.
I was initially unable to do that command in terminal because my files are stored in a separate partition and I was unable to access them, but after reading up a bit about terminal and how to navigate the file system it was easy to fix the issue.

So, these tagged files are on your boot drive correct? You right-click on the tagged file, and select Tags…, and then backspace set tags until that space is blank, and then do a return, which actually does the removal. Right?
That -36 error is likely an I/O error, which may mean something else is going on with your drive. Have you run Disk Utility First Aid on it lately?
