It seems I have a similar problem to GeoTIFF world file ignored by QGIS?
QGIS doesn't import my ground-layer tiff-files correctly, because I have the geo data in an extra tfw-file.
Now I want to delete all gdal-metadata in a bunch of tiff files.
Is there a Linux command line tool for this?
With gdal_translate
gdal_translate -of GTiff -co PROFILE=BASELINE input_geotiff.tif output_clean.tif
http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html http://www.gdal.org/gdal_translate.html
You could try Imagemagick mogrify:
mogrify -strip *.tiff
mogrify: Unknown field with tag 42112 (0xa480) encountered. `TIFFReadDirectory' @ warning/tiff.c/TIFFWarnings/896. [n is that bad? anyway, this didn't solve my problem

identify -verbose image.tif to see if the metadata is gone. Apart from that there's exiftool to manipulate metadata, but i've never used it.
