Why does Finder show Tags from Time Machine backups ?

I setup some tags in Finder previously and then decided I wanted to remove them as re-use the Tags on other folders. The Tags are still showing in Finder for files that are on my Time Machine backups.


Anyone know of a way to remove them or stop Finder from showing Tags on files in Time Machine backups.

Found a solution - turn off spotlight indexing the Time Machine drives and documents on there no longer appear when selecting a Tag.
