Tags is part of the bbPress core, so you can’t just turn them off by deactivating a plugin.

There are two ways to do it that I’m aware of:

1) Remove the tag code from your templates:

Tags only appears in a few places in your templates though, so it shouldn’t be too hard to remove!

Tag code appears in the following template files:

tag-simple.php

tags.php

tag-form.php

topic-tags.php

topic.php

There are descriptions of each template file here:

https://bbpress.org/documentation/themes/

2) Hide the tag fields in your stylesheet:

Good luck!
