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.
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 11.2
Well, if I want to search in Time Machine then I'll specifically do that. When I look at Tags i'd rather it just show me the tags excluding Time Machine. If a I look at a specific Tag in finder now it shows LOTS of files because there are lots 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.
If they were attached to those files when they were backed up, then they would show up in time machine.
But, maybe I’m not quite following the problem.
Why does Finder show Tags from Time Machine backups ?
