If you are talking about JPEG images, then this command will remove all metdata:

exiftool -all= FILE

If you are looking at just removing the standard EXIF GPS metadata, then this would do it:

exiftool -gps:all= FILE

...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 ($).
