Would you ever give out archival and technical info on a file youre sending?
Of course, you wouldnt, but by not erasing your files metadata, thats exactly what youre doing.
What Metadata does is that it gives info on another collection of data, one thats bigger.
Whether you accept it or not, Metadata can let others know about you than you would like.
Deleting metadata from your files may sound like a complicated process.
Still, it doesnt have to be with the help of useful tools such as apps and certain sites.
Keep in mind that you cant upload files bigger than 50MB in size.
Its freeware that gives you access to all the features the software has to offer.
This freeware was created for the sole purpose of removing your personal info from the files and metadata.
When youve found it, dont open it but right-select it.
tap on the Properties option and go to the Details tab.
At the bottom, youll see an option in blue called Remove Properties and Personal Information.
you could view the metadata for your Word documents by opening Word and then the File.
If youre still in Info, Go to the Inspect document option and tap on the dropdown menu.
Choose the Inspect document option, and a new window will open.
In the window, youll see a checked box to the right of each option.
ensure you select all the boxes.
punch the Inspect button at the bottom right.
But, if you see a red exclamation mark, well, you know what that means.
If you feel that its necessary, you’re free to reinspect your document or close it.
To double-check that the metadata was erased, youll need to repeat the above steps.
If you got red exclamation marks, this time around, you should get all green checkmarks.
That means that the metadata is gone.
