Sure; "svn rm". A tag is just a directory (well, actually, just an entry in the parent directory that points to a specific "inode"). For RCs from releases before the current one, I think deleting them seems reasonable (eg when 1.2 is released, remove 1.0 RC tags). I'd prefer to keep RC tags for at least one release though. If you don't like them in the main "tags" directory, they could be pushed down into a special "RC" directory.... Of course "delete" just makes them not visible in the head revision; the "tag" directory is still there if you look for it.
