Hi all, I recently did some house keeping of my devonthink3 - what I did was I have transferred the documents into my external hard disk and deleted the documents as per normal.
Having said that I noticed that the tags were active and I would like to ask are the documents saved twice - once in my folder and another as tagged?
How do I ensure that when I transfer the document it is done completely?
Thank you.
No, the files are not saved twice. Tags are not removed from a database’s top level Tags group when you delete files, even when you empty the database’s Trash (which you should do).
I see. Thank you for your reply. So does that mean that whenever I delete the file, I should empty the trash bin so that the tags are deleted?
Sorry about this . I usually go on a rampage in tagging any words that is associated with a file as I am scattered.
Could you point me to the best tagging practice - I would really like to avoid all these administrative hiccups as I am working through these kinks (ocd me is talking)
In my mind I just put in the folder and type the key words to summon it.

No. As I mentioned, tags are not deleted just because a file is deleted. You’d need to delete the tags in the top-level Tags group for the database separately.
