How do I deselect a color tag?

Hello couchlearner,

It sounds like you would like to remove a tag from a file on your Mac.

To remove a tag from your document, click the existing tag in the Tags field to highlight it, then press the Delete key.

If you are in Finder, you will need to select the Edit Tag button or go to File>Get Info with the file selected to access the Tags field.
