untagging

Taking off markers

Untagging is removing a tag from something—typically removing your name from a photo on social media: I spent an hour untagging myself from my ex's vacation pictures.

The term extends to any context where tags are used: untagging items in inventory systems, untagging files, or removing metadata labels from digital content.
