To securely delete the metadata of a PDF file, it is important to linearize the PDF file afterwards, otherwise changes are reversible and the metadata can be recovered. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Metadata removal tools are also commonly used to reduce the overall sizes of files, particularly image files posted on the Web.
ExifTool is a free and open-source software program for reading, writing, and manipulating image, audio, video, and PDF metadata.As such, ExifTool classes as a tag editor.It is platform independent, available as both a Perl library (Image::ExifTool) and a command-line application.
Exif data are embedded within the image file itself. While many recent image manipulation programs recognize and preserve Exif data when writing to a modified image, this is not the case for most older programs. Many image gallery programs also recognise Exif data and optionally display it alongside the images.

This data will be recreated every time you visit the webpage, though at times it can become corrupted. Clearing the cache deletes these files and fixes problems like outdated pages, websites freezing, and pages not loading or being unresponsive. • Clear your browser's cache in Edge • Clear your browser's cache in Safari
Files can be selected from a number of parameters including Exif data, GPS position, speed, heading or altitude, file type, size, orientation, XMP rating, or dates. Actions can be performed on the selected files includes batch renaming, copy, move, delete, set rating, export to JPEG, send to FTP server.
Data cleansing may also involve harmonization (or normalization) of data, which is the process of bringing together data of "varying file formats, naming conventions, and columns", [2] and transforming it into one cohesive data set; a simple example is the expansion of abbreviations ("st, rd, etc." to "street, road, etcetera").
