I can delete Format Strings in other conversions (e.g. - Tag-Filename) but not in Tag-Tag.  
I've tried deleting individually and deleting all. They initially disappear from the dropdown but reappear when I reopen the Tag-Tag dialog.

Can anyone confirm this?  
Thanks!

I cannot confirm this.  
I deleted several different format strings in several attempts from the list. None of them reappeared, neither when calling the function again in the current session or after a re-start of MP3tag.  
I used the function to delete string that can be called from the right-arrow-button next to the list.
