I would like to cleanly remove the following complete line from a number of files.

The actual data which is stored in XMP is different for each file.

  <exif:ImageUniqueID>8a512a7e-SOME MORE UNIQUE DATA-e216060de19e</exif:ImageUniqueID>

All must go including the first < and the last >

Thanks for any help offered.

...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 ($).

Many thanks, I knew that it would turn out to be much simpler than I thought.
