untag

Disassociate from post

To untag is to remove a tag from something.

In social media, untagging removes your name from a photo or post where someone identified you: I untagged myself from those embarrassing party photos.

The word applies anywhere tags are used—removing price tags, metadata tags, or labels from digital files or physical objects.
