Azure Subscription Tags: How to delete an empty tag value?

Azure portal allows us to create a tag containing empty value for any resource/resource group (As seen in attached screenshot, 'test' tag is created with empty value).

enter image description here

If I want to delete the tag value i.e empty value, It is not possible to delete that value from Azure REST API, it shows this error message.

{
      "message":"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 
                'https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/tagNames/test/tagValues/?api-version=2017-05-10'."
}

Suppose for example I create a tag in one resource having tag name 'department' and tag value 'finance':

{
    'department': 'finance'
}

and for other resource I create a tag with same tag name and empty value:

{
    'department': ''
}

Now I want to delete this empty tag value. In that case I can't use Tags - Delete method because I can't delete tag name here as this tag name is associated to other resource. So is it possible to delete the empty tag value?

You are looking at the wrong method. Try using Tags - Delete which only requires you to use tagName.

The Tags - Delete Value you referred to would indeed require both a tagValue and tagName.

So in your case, the REST request would be: 

DELETE 
https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/tagNames/test?api-version=2018-02-01
