Works as an 'ignore and do it' case (and really I want to ignore and proceed.)

Yes J,
It would but I didn't want to rely on error at all.
delete tag all
unexpectedly doesn't work all the time and with or w/o error it doesn't clear all tags all the time. I took a more radical route and directly erase .CDX files (play with DBC a little first). Longer route but works 100% w/o error.
