Deleting keywords/tags from pull-down list

I'm using Photoshop 2024 on an iMAC. While editing photos I'm adding keywords/tags (not sure of the correct word). I've edited about 800 photos recently and in doing so have created a lot of tags. Now when I want to add a tag to a new photo, the list is long and I want to delete some tag words from the pull-down list. I don't want to delete tag words from the photos I have already edited. I just want to make the list shorter and delete tag words that I will no longer add to future files. I could use assistance.

You might want to look into adding and removing keywords using Adobe Bridge instead:

I looked at Bridge but still don't see a way to delete keywords other than from an individual file. I want to delete keywords from the pull-down menu as I add keywords in future files. It seems that once you add a keyword to one file, that keyword can't be removed? And I can't see keywords I have been adding recently, only old keywords. Yet I know the keywords are there as I can see them when I look at files in Finder. I don't want to change the keywords that are alread assigned to files -- I just don't want to see them when adding keywords to new files. Not sure I'm wording this correctly. Thank you.

Photoshop and Bridge both have File > File Info... What Bridge also adds is a dedicated Keywords and other metadata editing features for single or multiple files.

~~I don't know where Adobe store the File Info "suggestions" for management outside of File Info.~~
