There are several ways to remove tag fields ...

1. Use the remove function from within the "Extended Tags" dialog.
2. Use an action "Remove Fields".

I don't mean removing the field from a file. I meant removing it from MP3TAG's list of tags.

So far the only way I figure out is to use a binary editor on mp3tag.cfg

If you are able to invoke a "RightArrowButtonMenu", then try "Remove from History".
