Hello!

For example, I want to delete all tags that are on the forum. I do this centrally in the admin panel.
The problem is that after I delete all the tags, the forum topics still remain tagged.
The opposite situation also occurs.
A tag may exist in the admin panel list, but will not be linked to any of the topics.
The second option is acceptable. What should be done about the first?
How should tags be handled correctly?
