How can I clean up labels to remove duplicates?

[Joel Nave]

We have labels that are slightly different but that are duplicates. For example, we have "DC2" and "dc2". How can I remove one of these?

Hi @Joel Nave, 

You have to do this by Bulk Feature. First, run a filter for the label you want to remove then using the Bulk Change feature, Edit the selected tasks. I am using JIRA 7.1 but your screen should look similar to the following:

Keep in mind that you have to fully remove the unwanted label from all tasks for it to disappear from the list when typing the label. 

Hope this helps!
