In depth
A closer look at Metadata Cleaner
Metadata Cleaner The software features an analysis function and a cleaning feature. The Analysis implies that the software reads hidden metadata from a file, if it exists, and displays it in a detailed list. It can process a single file at a time, or scan entire folders and subfolders in order to identify the supported files. Metadata Cleaner can only process files created with Office 2007 or earlier, with the .DOC, .XLS or .PPT extensions, and not the newer versions: DOCX, XLSX or PPTX. The reason is simple: the documents created with the newer versions do not include metadata any more, unlike the previous file types.
