# Remove a tag from a repository


You can remove one or more tags associated with a repository. Removing a tag does not delete the tag from other AWS resources that are associated with that tag.

**Important**  
Removing tags for a repository can impact access to that repository. Before you remove a tag from a repository, make sure to review any IAM policies that might use the key or value for a tag to control access to resources such as repositories. For examples of tag-based access policies, see [Example 5: Deny or allow actions on repositories with tags](customer-managed-policies.md#identity-based-policies-example-5).

## Remove a tag from a repository (console)


You can use the CodeCommit console to remove the association between a tag and a CodeCommit repository. 

1. Open the CodeCommit console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/codesuite/codecommit/home](https://console.aws.amazon.com/codesuite/codecommit/home).

1. In **Repositories**, choose the name of the repository where you want to remove tags.

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Settings**. Choose **Repository tags**. 

1. Choose **Edit**.

1. Find the tag you want to remove, and then choose **Remove tag**.

1. When you have finished removing tags, choose **Submit**.

## Remove a tag from a repository (AWS CLI)


Follow these steps to use the AWS CLI to remove a tag from a CodeCommit repository. Removing a tag does not delete it, but simply removes the association between the tag and the repository. 

**Note**  
If you delete a CodeCommit repository, all tag associations are removed from the deleted repository. You do not have to remove tags before you delete a repository.

At the terminal or command line, run the **untag-resource** command, specifying the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the repository where you want to remove tags and the tag key of the tag you want to remove. For example, to remove a tag on a repository named *MyDemoRepo* with the tag key *Status*:

```
aws codecommit untag-resource --resource-arn arn:aws:codecommit:us-west-2:111111111111:MyDemoRepo --tag-keys Status
```

If successful, this command returns nothing. To verify the tags associated with the repository, run the **list-tags-for-resource** command.
