Remarks

The unlabel command of the tf command-line utility removes an item from an existing label in the Azure DevOps server. For an introduction to labels, see Use labels to take a snapshot of your files. For information about how to assign a label to a set of files and folders, see Label command (Team Foundation Version Control).

If you remove all items from a label in the Azure DevOps server, that label is deleted. You can also delete a label by using the tf label /delete command. To learn more about the existing labels in the system, see Labels command.
