I'm not sure if it counts as a bug, but with these settings:

 ![Tags Mpeg](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/e/3/e341483cb9b23af714bc9173e1abca3fac622c73.png)  
and FLAC files with ID3v2 tags:  
 ![flac id3v2](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/5/4/54ed9ebf602355fa60fa939d7c5c03d2a9909189.png)  
using `Remove tag` yields:  
 ![only id3v2](https://community.mp3tag.de/uploads/default/original/3X/b/4/b4fea3e3ce68839d6512d967ca7024fbdf7c9cfe.png)  
Then undoing the deletion once again yields `FLAC (FLAC ID3v2)`.

Performing the same steps on files with `FLAC (FLAC ID3v1)` removes the id3v1 tags and only restores the FLAC tags.

As a workaround I fixed the files by running:

```auto
id3v2 --delete-all *.flac

```

in the folder of the album.

I'm aware that ID3-tags in flac files are against the spec (which is why I want to remove them), however they are sometimes created by a misconfigured EAC instance.

Nvm I looked in the wrong place.

With this checked it works as expected. Feel free to delete this (I don't seem to have the needed permissions).
