Deleting an NFC tag – here’s how to do it

To programme an NFC tag and then delete it, you’ll need a specialised app. The ‘Trigger’ task launcher, for example, is ideal for this purpose. Here’s how to delete the NFC tag:

  1. Open the Trigger app and pull down the left-hand side menu.
  2. Select “Other NFC actions”.
  3. Then tap “Delete tag”.
  4. Hold the back of your smartphone up to the NFC tag. Of course, your smartphone’s NFC function must be enabled for this to work.
  5. The information on the tag is now deleted; it can now be re-programmed.
