Tip for perforce user, if you encounter problem such as FindGameObjectWithTag seem not working properly in android/iOS build and it work perfectly fine in Editor.Please make sure the TagManager.asset in project setting folder is not readonly, it will cause Unity Editor not able to update the tags properly YET in the mobile build it will based on the edited tags to do the tag searching. Hope it would some other people few hours of work.

Just encountered this in Unity 2017.4.2f2. Could edit them in debug mode, however.

Select any object in your hierarchy --> In your "Inspector" select "Tag" and scroll down to "Add Tag".--> Select the tag you want to remove and click on minus.

Apparently this is only for tags that begin with a capital letter - it accepts lower case and numbers.

OK this updated piece of documentation states we can no longer EDIT tags in 5.5 and above.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TagManager.html
If you go back to the 5.4 (or earlier) version of the documentation you can see we used to be able edit tags.
Would this change -- that we can no longer edit tags -- be what's causing issues for people? Could something be wrong in the implementation?

This has suddenly started happening to me in Unity 5.6.1f1.
In my current project, and in a completely new and empty project, I can't edit tags. I can add or delete them
It is also causing "Tag not defined" errors in my game, when in fact I have not changed any tag references for quite a few weeks.
I refreshed my install of Unity just in case, but made no difference.
