Windows 10: How to Delete Tags (used with photos or videos) from the tag database in Windows

In Windows you can add tags (in Dutch 'labels') to your photos or videos. You can also remove them again, but they are (once created) also stored somewhere centrally. Also when you accidentely created wrong tags or want to change them later on, you can do that on the individual or multiple photos or videos, but these wrong or old tags remain stored somewhere centrally. And these wrong or old tags keep popping up in the auto- dropdown box of Tags which gets bigger every time you input a new tag. Convenient if you want to use something you have used before but a nuisance if they are wrong or old. How can I get rid off the tags in this central database when I don't want to use them anymore going forward?
