I see, yes, I'm using BTRFS, I apologize for not mentioning it, and indeed
`balooctl purge` seems to fix things, but now it seems that baloo doesn't even
indexing or monitoring any changes after a purge and then a restart.

I restart the computer after executing `balooctl purge` (wait till it finishes
the purge), and sure enough the Tag is now gone, and I waited a little while
until baloo have 100% indexing my home folder, and then trie to modify a tag of
a file in my home folder, the tag seems to be applied and I can see it through
`getfattr` command, but baloo doesn't seem to detect this changes and stays at
"Idle" on the `balooctl monitor` command resulting in no tags added to Dolphin
collection, I think I need some time to see the behaviour of these two
software, but I guess it's the bug?

Also, sorry if somehow I make this bug report section like a forum discussion
and break any guidelines.
