This procedure describes how to remove tags from assets from the Assets page. You can also remove asset tags from the Vulnerabilities by Assets page.

If an asset matches a dynamic tag's rules but you do not want the tag applied, you can manually remove the tag from the asset. If you later want to re-apply the tag to the asset, you can remove the asset from the excluded assets list, as described in Edit Tag Rules.
