Great. I have a few tags where were not linking. I just linked them to posts instead of deleting them.

Thank you SO much for this very easy to follow tutorial, it worked like a charm! Lots of people seem to like adding unrelated tags to get their articles read and don't realize that it just makes the reader/searcher upset with them for so doing.
Since I'm running an article directory, it is imperative that the tags actually relate to the article submitted.
Your tip on how to delete those zero-post tags is excellent.
Thanks a million,
Donna

Btw, if you sort it by Post and delete once all those with value 0 via bulk action, be careful in the next screen before marking and deleting 🙂 The sorting goes off after one delete. You have to sort each time before bulk marking and deleting – just did it.

I seem to have more than 400 unused tags as per the admin console report. Not sure why it is so, because everytime I post, I chose from what is previously used and available. if not there, I type in one or two more. Scared to delete them now 🙂
