Did the update. Unfortunately, the misspelled tags are still there.
At this point the only thing I can tell you is if they're showing up, they are in use.

Earlier I suggest you do a custom search with the misspelled word as the criteria. Have you done that? It should find it. That's how I track down genres or even artists or track titles that show up with typos in the drop-down.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

I did check again just now to see if there was anything I missed, and it looks like there aren't any files that are using the misspelled tags. After updating to 3.4, the misspelled artist tags are gone. However, the misspelled genre tags haven't gone away.

Update: It looks like the artist misspellings only appear in the album artist tags not the artist tags.

Have you tried searching by "Match RegEx?"
<Genre> Match RegEx Downtemp\b  for example.

How would I do that?

So far, I've used Custom Search (CTRL + F) to match all the following rules.

Example: Genre | is | Downtemp
No files appear to have that tag.

If "Downtemp" is contained in a multiple <Genre> tag, that Custom Search won't filter it.
Change "is" to "match RegEx"
<Genre> | match RegEx | Downtemp\b

<Genre> | match RegEx | Downtemp
You could also use
<Genre> | contains | Downtemp

Yes, but that'll also include "Downtempo" in the results.

I did "<Genre> | match RegEx | Downtemp\b" in the custom search and nothing appeared.
