Description arne anka CLA 2020-10-06 04:13:19 EDT 
Project's context menu -> Team -> Advanced:
Create Tag ...

But there's no "Delete Tag"
For that I have to go to

Team -> Remote -> Push ...

and on the second page of the wizard find the section
"Add delete ref specification"
which isn't obviously related to deleting a tag.

In Git's cli these may be separate comamnds, but from a user's PoV it's if not the same at least very close related and probably more often than not will be run together.

Hence, EGit's UI should group those in a user-friendly way togther with "Create Tag ..."

Do you want to delete a tag in the local repository or in a remote repository ?

Both.
But my point is: it should not make a (huge) difference in the UI
