You're doing this at your own risk. If you think you might want to vet each step, you should. 

Worked for me. Your mileage may vary.

  1. Download exiftool, an open-source, Perl [sic]-powered tool
  2. Install the exe somewhere and get its location
  3. Create a .bat file with this content (hat tip):
    • for %%v in (*.%1) do c:\path\to\exiftool.exe -all= "%%v"
    • If you want it to recursively spider down folders, use this:
      • for /r %%v in (*.%1) do c:\path\to\exiftool.exe -all= "%%v"
  4. Call the .bat file in the folder where you have the images
    • C:\path\to\myBat.bat jpg
    • Note that this does one extension at a time but you can enter * instead to do every file (including non images) in the directory
      • C:\path\to\myBat.bat *
    • You could also rewrite that bat command to look for common file extensions.
  5. Profit.
Exif has a lot of crappy stuff. I was getting ready to post some PodSwap pictures and didn't necessarily want to let you know where I took them. This seems to have gotten rid of it.
