A second way is to remove them directly in your DB, but this is just recommended if you really know what you are doing.

I want to point-out that with a recent version of JIRA you can now remove a single label from issues using a bulk operation.

If you have a large number of labels, removing from each issue will be impossible.

For that use case, we have developed an app: Label Manager for Jira Cloud

It allows managing labels (searching, filtering, changing name, deleting etc.) from a single page. Try it out and let us know if you face any issues.
