I am unable to delete this tag marked "Bad\_NotFound".  
I only get an error message that says "Bad\_NotFound"

The Json for the tag looks like  
{  
"name": "AC\_LS\_40441\_bad",  
"tagType": "Unknown"  
}

Change the tag-type in the JSON to "Atomic" and try again.

When I do that, it creates an empty space above.  
If I "Edit tag(s)" the tag, it looks normal, but if I change any settings, it creates that empty tag space above it. If I delete thte "bad" tag, it only deletes the empty space tag.
