Is there a way to replace and/or remove a tag from everywhere?

Troubleshooting

Is there a function in org-roam (or maybe somebody has written it) that will scan all files with a given alias or tag and replace and/or remove it?

or does anybody have a suggestion on how to do this (without having to write a function to do it)

I would C-x C-f to the roam directory, M-x grep and enter something like ‘“”’ | grep ROAM_ALIASES:

And in the grep buffer use M-x wgrep-change-to-wgrep-mode, then M-x
query-replace and then C-x C-s

I don’t remember the default keys shortcuts to call those commands.

My best

Thanks. I was wondering if there was a command inside emacs to do it. But as you pointed out, I might have to do it from the command line.

@dmg, what @konubinix mentions above is done within Emacs. A great solution with using wgrep (I think you need to install in as an additional package).
