Actually, there is, though not a nice way and not provided by RitLabs.
This is MAU 'speaking':
,------/ \----
| In a message of the thread mentioned above I said I had found a way of
| deleting them. It works, but it has some 'buts' and 'ifs'.
|
| There is a file named 'TagStat.TXT' in MAIL directory that lists all
| Tags that have been defined or created. Each tag shows some long numbers
| that I assume somehow refer to the message(s) that have that tag
| assigned.
|
| If you exit TB and open that file with a text editor, you may delete a
| Tag (line) or all of them. Or, if you want to delete all tags, you may
| just delete the file.
|
| BUT, that deleting method only works IF:
|
| a) The tag(s) you are deleting is(are) not currently assigned to any
| message.
|
| b) The tag(s) you are deleting is(are) not currently being used in the
| filter of any VF. I have not tried with filters in S.O., but I expect
| the same.
|
| If a) or b) are not true for any tags, TB will make them appear again in
| TagStat.TXT file, even re-creating it if it had been deleted.
|
| I don't know if there are any plans for further development of this Tags
| feature but, for me, and sorry to say so, the current implementation is
| neither useful nor usable.

"Strangely" enough the two "gandalfmeister-mails" did not show up in a the
virtual folder where I can see all the labelled mails.
When deleting the tags from TagStat.TXT I saw that both automaticcaly created
tags only had three zero's instead of longer numbers after them:

I hope this can help the developers if/when they try to cure this "bug".
