Tip to delete tags by pattern
#delete all the remote tags with the pattern your looking for, ie. DEV-
git tag | grep <pattern> | xargs -n 1 -i% git push origin :refs/tags/%
#delete all your local tags
git tag | xargs -n 1 -i% git tag -d %
#fetch the remote tags which still remain
git fetch

You can try this. It will delete all matching tag patterns. E.g. for deleting tags starting with v1.0, use git tag -d $(git tag -l "v1.0*")

Delete remote: git push -d $(git tag -l "tag_prefix*") Delete local: git tag -d $(git tag -l "tag_prefix*")
