您计算机上的所有文件还通过元数据存储有关其来源、作者和其他详细信息的信息。如果您不希望其他人可以使用此上下文信息，最好删除文件的所有元数据。这样一来，您就无法知道谁创建了特定的PDF 文件^{(PDF file)}、使用哪个相机拍摄有争议的照片，或者Word 文档^{(Word document)}是何时创建的。Windows 10 允许您轻松删除文件的所有元数据或其中的一部分。方法如下：

注意：^(NOTE:)要了解有关元数据及其用途的更多信息，请阅读：什么是文件的元数据。

如何从Windows 10中删除文件的元数据^{(Windows 10)}

打开文件资源管理器^{(Open File Explorer)}并转到要删除元数据的文件。这个文件可以是任何东西：以JPEG格式^{(JPEG format)}存储的图片、Word文档^{(Word document)}、PDF文件^{(PDF file)}等。然后，右键单击或按住它，然后在打开的菜单中选择“属性^(Properties)” 。或者，您可以选择图像，然后按键盘上的ALT+Enter

所选文件的“属性^(Properties)”窗口打开。转到详细信息^(Details)选项卡，您可以在其中看到与它一起存储的元数据。要删除所有元数据或其中的一部分，请单击或点击“删除属性和个人信息”^{("Remove Properties and Personal Information")}链接。

“删除属性^{(Remove Properties)}”窗口打开，您可以在其中删除所有元数据或其中的一部分。但首先，您有两个选择：

• “创建一个删除所有可能属性的副本”^{("Create a copy with all possible properties removed")} - 克隆选定的文件，并且该副本没有与之关联的元数据。

• “从此文件中删除以下属性”^{("Remove the following properties from this file")} - 覆盖同一文件但删除您选择的元数据。

如果您选择第一个选项，请按OK。将创建同一文件的副本，其名称末尾带有“- Copy” ，其中未存储任何元数据。^{(" - Copy")}

当您选择“从此文件中删除以下属性”^{(Remove the following properties from this file,")}时，可用元数据列表变为可编辑，您可以选择要删除的所有字段。您也可以按全选^{(Select All)}来选择所有元数据字段。选择完要删除的元数据后，按两次OK ，就完成了。^(OK)

该文件将被不包含您选择的元数据的新版本覆盖。

提示：^(TIP:)如果要更改元数据并将其添加到存储在 PC 上的图片，请阅读：如何在Windows 10中将元数据添加到照片。

您删除了哪种类型的文件的元数据，为什么？

在结束本教程之前，我们很想知道您删除了哪些元数据、针对哪种文件类型以及原因。是您想要隐藏的一些个人信息吗？您^(Did)是否想要完全匿名化您将要与他人分享的图片？在下面的评论中分享您的原因。

How to remove metadata from a file (PDF, JPEG, Word, etc), in Windows 10

All the files on your computer also store information about their source, author, and other details, through metadata. If you don't want this contextual information to be available to others, it is a good idea to remove all the metadata of a file. This way, you can't tell who created a specific PDF file, which camera was used to take a controversial picture, or when a Word document was created. Windows 10 allows you to easily remove all the metadata of a file or a portion of it. Here is how:

NOTE: To learn more about metadata and its purpose, read: What is a file's metadata.

How to remove the metadata of a file from Windows 10

Open File Explorer and go to the file for which you want to remove the metadata. This file can be anything: a picture stored in JPEG format, a Word document, a PDF file, etc. Then, right-click or press-and-hold on it, and in the menu that opens, choose Properties. Alternatively, you can select the image and then press ALT+Enter on your keyboard for the same result.

The Properties window opens for the selected file. Go to the Details tab, where you see the metadata stored with it. To remove all metadata or a part of it, click or tap the "Remove Properties and Personal Information" link.

The Remove Properties window is opened, where you can delete all metadata or parts of it. But first, you have two choices:

• "Create a copy with all possible properties removed" - clones the selected file, and the copy has no metadata associated with it.

• "Remove the following properties from this file" - overwrites the same file but removes the metadata that you select.

If you choose the first option, press OK. A copy of the same file is created, with " - Copy" at the end of its name, which has no metadata stored.

When you choose "Remove the following properties from this file," the list of available metadata becomes editable, and you can select all the fields that you want to be removed. You can also press Select All to choose all metadata fields. When you are done selecting the metadata that you want to be deleted, press OK twice, and you are done.

The file is overwritten with a new version that doesn't have the metadata that you selected.

TIP: If you want to change and add the metadata to the pictures you store on your PC, read: How to add metadata to photos, in Windows 10.

For which type of file did you remove metadata and why?

Before closing this tutorial, we are curious to know what metadata you removed, for which type of file, and why. Was it some personal information that you want hidden? Did you want to completely anonymize a picture that you are about to share with others? Share your reasons in a comment below.
