Use the Create Custom List. In the upper right corner is a legend reading "Active tool set". The button below it switches you between to sets of tabs. You want the "File tools ..." tabs. The right hand tab is "Create Custom Lists". You specify a list of tags, plus a form of file name (which you use depends on whether you want to just process one directory or a whole directory tree), together with a separator string (use a character that doesn't occur in any of the tags or filenames, such as § or ¶). You also specify a file name and location for the list. You can use the "Advanced mode" option to insert V2 tag names, using the right mouse button to get a dropdown menu for them, or just hand-typing them in. Remember, advanced mode you have to hand-type the separators.
Once you have such a list you can go back to the "Name and tag tools" tool set and us "Mass cleanup tags" to get rid of everything, and then "Tag/rename from list" to put the saved values back. It pays to save the pattern you used in the "Create Custom List" tool to use here, but note that you will have to fix up the file name entry, as the two tools use somewhat different formats. Play with these on some simple cases to learn what has to be changed.
Good luck.
