    Just save the project and the tags will update automatically (File->Save).

    I am also stuck in this issue but after some time i find the solution for this problem.
    issue - tags in inspector are not removed permanently but all the tags are automatically created after restarting the unity.

    solution - first go to the folder where your project files are situated and search for "TagManager".
    Then open this in notepad++ or any other editor.
    In this you find that all the tags that you are created are situated here .
    After this open unity editor and open tags and layers.
    Remove all the tags by click on '-' but after doing this the tags are not removed completely.
    In TagManager file remove all the tags including '-' like " - player" then open unity editor.
    You found that all the tags are removed from inspector but the problem is not yet gone.
    Open the file and you see "tags: []" write '0' in '[]' and then open unity.
    Again open file and remove the '0' from brackets and open unity.
    Make some tags and save the project.

    This works perfect for me and this may work for you, try it .
