How do I edit or delete person tags in Memories?

In Family Tree, if a memory item is tagged to the wrong person, you can detach or delete the tag.

Summary

• If you uploaded the memory, Delete Tag is available.
• If someone else uploaded the memory, Detach from Family Tree is available.
• You cannot resize, reposition, and rename tags unless you created the tag.

If you attempt to edit a tag and do not see the options for editing and deleting it, consider the following:

• You did not create the tag.
• You are signed in as a helper, and the person you are helping did not create the tag. Sign out as a helper.
• You created the tag while signed in to help someone else. To edit the tag, you must either have the person you were helping do it or sign in to help that person again.
