If terms (admin OR user created) are duplicates, I don't see a way to delete them from within the Drupal browser interface.

This becomes a problem during, say, adding products to an ecommerce site that breaks their products up into categories. The person adding the product sees multiple duplicate categories (which are terms within a Vocabulary) and doesn't know which one to choose.

You can delete ALL terms in a lists by virtue of deleting a Vocabulary, but that's not an ideal solution.

If you go to the page where you can edit the term, the is also a option to delete the term.

The url to the page above is admin/content/taxonomy/edit/term/[tid], where tid is the term id for the term you want to delete. You can Click your way to it by:

  1. Going to the taxonomy section
  2. Click the list items in the select vocabulary.
  3. Click the edit link for the taxonomy terms you want to delete.
  4. Click the delete button.
