Delete a Business Tag

Question

I must have set up one business tag when I first set up my business account in Quicken Business and Home Classic.  Now I cannot for the life of me figure out how to delete it.  It is the one tag that does not auto-fill when I type the first two letters of the tag.  Anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

It does seem a bit harsh, but it may be related to the business reports that you can draw up.  Delete a tag and the search engine, profit loss, etc. can be skewed.  I only have one business tag that happened when I set up the business account so I manually changed all transactions that had that tag to the "other" tag designation.  It is not a big deal for me, I just think reports based on tags (as opposed to a memo or category search is more precise for me.

@chriskay - I was not aware of that tags could be designated as business tags and that they cannot be deleted without deleting the business account.  That seems a bit extreme to me but perhaps someone else with more knowledge of Business & Personal will pop in here and be able to provide you with some good advice on this matter.

Well, I was trying to delete the tag, which is designated a business tag.  You can't delete it without removing the business account itself, which I do not want to do.  I didn't want it popping up as an autofill, which can be prevented by hiding the tag.  So, the universe continues...
