Newbie here. I have been using Exiftools for a while to extract location data. Now I need to clear my name from EXIF in a bunch of jpeg. The only field I can't access is Owner Name, that includes the space, from the Canon maker notes. How do I write Owner Name so that it is recognised? Placed in quotes "Owner Name" is unsuccessful.
Thanks

Try this:

exiftool -ownername= FILE

- Phil
...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 is FAQ #2.
   When you run exiftool, by default it prints descriptions, not tag names, for the information it extracts.

The tag description is "Owner Name", not the tag name.  I don't have a Canon to double check, but I suspect that the tag name would be OwnerName.

* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?
* Please use the Code button for exiftool code/output.
 
* Please include your OS, Exiftool version, and type of file you're processing (MP4, JPG, etc).

That was it, many thanks!
