Not a deletable group

[Tr]

I have some bogus tag groups <vr> created somehow.  Below is my attempt to delete them:

>exiftool -vr:all= *.tif
Warning: Not a deletable group: vr
Nothing to do.

Any help is appreciated.

ExifTool can only write tags which have been pre-defined.  To delete these you would have to create matching user-defined tags.

Hi Phil -

I am new to Exiftool Forum, but have been working closely with Tr.

I looked into creating matching user-defined tags from the Exiftool FAQ.

I have a working .ExifTool_config

I am trying to create the XMP:XMP-vr tags so that I can delete them from images.

Below is my attempt (using example):

exiftool -v2 -NewXMPxmpTag=test FILE
Warning: Tag 'NewXMPvrTag' does not exist
Nothing to do.

Any help is much appreciated.

I can't give any specific advice, except to read FAQ 11, without seeing the config file.
