Q: Want to rename tags with color

Hello!

     So I wanna rename my tags so they don't just say red, orange, yellow, etc. I want to rename them into something else but still have it in  a certain color tag. Instead of it saying "red" I want to change it into "Covers" or "School". Kinda got lost and don't know if that's possible or if I have to make a whole new tag. But I ould like to have a color on my tag haha :-)

          Thanks

                    Blessings,

                              Noah

    Select the tag, then control - click on it and select Rename.

    Try Finder Sidebar/Tags/All Tags and drive the deleted on back to the Sidebar. If you actually deleted it, go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select LibraryCaches/com.apple.finder. Enter your backup and restore that folder.
