Re: Can't delete metadata from tif, svg images
You can use exiftool to delete tags individually from a TIFF image, but only the ExifIFD is removed when performing a group delete (ie. "-all=") on a TIFF image. This results in some meta information tags remaining in IFD0 which must be deleted individually. IFD0 can't be removed because it contains the image.

ExifTool doesn't write SVG images, but these types of images are XML based, so you can remove the meta information with any XML or text editor if you really need to.
