Hallo,
my Geosetter Created a lot of stuff in my Photos.
A lot of NEF Pictures contain geo:lon=...
What is the command line to delete tags begining with "geo:lon=" from my *.NEF Pictures?

What is "geo:lon="?  Is this the value of some tag?  If so, what is the tag name?

Use this command to see the tag names and where they are stored:

exiftool -a -G1 -s your_image.nef

Then use this command to delete tags:

exiftool -GROUP:TAG= ... your_image.nef

where GROUP and TAG are the group and tag names from the first command.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks Phil,

the "geo:lon=1123.1212.121212." are coordinate Datas wich the programm wrote into the Photo Subject-Tags.
Wenn I have all my photos in lightroom, the Subject Tags to filter are full with this stuff.
Can I Just delete alle "geo:lon=*" tags from all pictures by once?

Hi Joe,

Close, but no.

Also, this is still not a valid ExifTool GROUP:TAG name.  Use the first command I gave to find the ExifTool GROUP and TAG.   You can delete an entire group with -GROUP:all=
