## Delete tags (AWS CLI)


Use the [delete-tags](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/autoscaling/delete-tags.html) command to delete a tag. For example, the following command deletes a tag with a key of `environment`.

```
aws autoscaling delete-tags --tags "ResourceId=my-asg,ResourceType=auto-scaling-group,Key=environment"
```

You must specify the tag key, but you don't have to specify the value. If you specify a value and the value is incorrect, the tag is not deleted.
