Deleting Exif GPS Tags

[Paul Barrett]

Hi guys

I have a bunch of Exif GPS tags I want to remove from some files.  I have been reading about the TAG command and how to use wildcard characters to delete similarly named tags but I could not quite follow it all.  Can you please help me with an example based on the tags that follow please?  I get the 'exiftool' prefix and the switches for child folders.  It's the core piece of the command I am struggling with.

GPSVersionID                 
GPSLatitudeRef                 
GPSLongitudeRef               
GPSTimeStamp                   
GPSStatus                       
GPSMeasureMode               
GPSDilutionOfPrecision       
GPSDestLatitudeRef   
GPSDateStamp

Regards

Try
exiftool -gps*= FileOrDir

This will clear all tags that start with gps regardless of which metadata group they are in.

Thanks StarGeek, that looks very cool.

What if I ONLY want to delete the GPS data in the EXIF section though?  Can I prefix -gps* with the section title in some way?

Thanks

Yes, you should be able to do this: -exif:gps* (on a Mac or on Linux you need to put quotes around the *)
