The second command worked flawlessly :)
Thank you

BUT

The First Command doesn't seem to work (to delete e.g. "Colour representation sRGB")
"exiftool -icc_profile= FILE"

Use exiftool -s -a -G1 FILE to see the metadata and where it is located.  Then you can target the specific tag you want to delete.   What is the group and tag name for this metadata?

...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 ($).

This worked fine to delete sRGB profile
group     : [ExifIFD]
tag         : ColorSpace
command: "exiftool -colorspace= FILE"


How do you delete multiple tags like the "tags description field"?

I've found 2 places that mention my tags
1. Place
group: [IFD0]
tag    : XPKeywords

2. Place
group: [IPTC]
tag    : Keywords

this doesn't work :)
command: "exiftool -xpkeywords=  -keywords= FILE"


Thank you

exiftool -xpkeywords= -keywords= FILE would be the correct command to remove data from both XPKeywords and Keywords.  You might also check out Subject as well (run exiftool -subject FILE), as that is also a place where keywords can be stored.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

From  this reference (link to winpedia.org):

[...]

Novice Computer User Solution (completely automated):
1) Download (Error 0x80070216 Arithmetic Result Exceeded 32 Bits) repair utility.

IMO this is a malicius web site. It has only one download of a so called "repair tool" reported as malware by several scanners. The appearance of the website alone is suspicious.

Phil, could you edit the post so it doesn't link anymore to winpedia.org
