Navigate to the Central Administration. Click on Application Management. Click on Manage service applications which is available under Service Applications. Click on MMS (Managed Metadata Service). Expand MMS termstore in the Taxonomy Term Store where all the groups for that particular termstore will be displayed. I have a group called “SP2013” which has the following term sets and terms
Ø Apps
Ø BCS
Ø External Content Type
Ø External Data Column
Ø External List
Ø MMS
Ø WAS
When you select the term and then click on down arrow you can find an option called “Deprecate Term”. You need to specify the destination where the term has to be moved.
Ø Apps
Ø BCS
![*]()
External Content Type
Ø External Data Column
Ø External List
Ø MMS
Ø WAS
