If a tag in TFS Update 2 is entered incorrectly and saved, how can it later be edited and corrected? Also is there a way to delete obsolete tags?

1 - If you have Visual Studio as the client, then you can use the VS extension to rename the tags. 2 - Upgrade to TFS 2018, then install the TFS extension Tags Manager(it only supports TFS 2018 and VSTS for now) to rename the tags.
To delete a tag, select the ellipsis to the right of the tag name and choose Delete tag.
To create a new tag, click the Add button and start typing to add a keyword. Any existing tags that have been added to other work items will begin to display in a dropdown box as you're typing. Figure 1 shows an example of a product backlog item that has been tagged with two tags: Dev and QA.

Delete or remove tags
You can't delete a tag itself. However, if you delete a tag from all work items to which it's currently assigned, the system will delete the tag. The system automatically deletes unassigned tags after 3 days of disuse.
If you misspell a tag, don't assign the misspelled tag to any work item and the system will automatically delete it within 3 days.
Here are some other options:
Tags Manager for VSTS
Tag Admin for VS2017
Other tag editor options for VSTS

It is not possible to rename or delete tags in TFS at the moment.
