Yes, these are non-branch tags I'm referring to.
There are 2 reasons why I want to cleanup these tags:
1. When I run 'cvs log' command on any file, these unwanted tags show up and cause confusion in identifying the tags which I looking for.
2. The number of tags that get created each week is high.
For branch tag deletion, I think the command is
cvs tag -d -b <branch-name>
In this case, for the branch tag deletion, would the branch code be lost? But I suppose that should be ok as long as the code is present in the trunk.

If these are really tags, not branch-tags, then no code is lost. Note
that "newer" CVS version would not let you delete branch tags with this
command.
But the big question is: Why do you want to get rid of the tags? Tags
are rather cheap, and I hardly recognize a reason to delete them. Just
let them there, this is the best possibility not to break anything.
Best regards,
Spiro.
