Hello from Oregon USA,  
I can't delete the mp3tag.dll from my computer. Does anyone know why? And how can I delete? I want a fresh start.  
Thank you!  
Dean

You supply very little information about what you do, any kind of error messages you get.  
So I can only say: you just have to be daring enough and try it.

In general: MP3tag comes with an un-installer which takes care of the de-installation. There should be no need to remove the mp3tag.dll manually.

I'm wondering: On my entire Windows-PC there is no `mp3tag.dll`  
Where exactly (complete path?) do you find your `mp3tag.dll` on your PC?

_(I only see a `Mp3tagShell64.dll` and `Mp3tagShell32.dll`)_

As far as I can tell, this file has nothing to do with "our" Mp3tag program. For a few details see:

> **[MP3Tag.dll Download - DLL 4 Free](https://www.dll4free.com/mp3tag.dll.html)**

> Repair MP3Tag.dll not found or missing error in Windows by downloading MP3Tag.dll, Used to read ID3 tags for MP3 Tag Reader by Boost or other software.
