# Remove terms

Taxonomies has a feature that allows you to quickly remove terms from your content.

You will find this feature on the “[Manage Terms](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/introduction-to-manage-terms/)” screen in Taxonomies. This feature works for any WordPress taxonomy.

## Remove terms from all posts

This feature allows you to remove a term from every post on your site. In the image below, I'm removing the term "security" from every post.

## Remove terms to posts with specific terms

The "Remove terms" feature also allows you to add a term to only a post that already has a specific term. For example, you could automatically remove "Vegetables" as a term from any post that already has "Carrots", "Spinach" or "Cabbages" as a term.

- In the image below, I'm removing the term "Food" from any post which already has the terms "Carrots".
- Click "Add".
