If you're wanting to batch this for other image files you can use imagemagick to remove exif data by using:

convert <input file> -strip <output file>


Per the source it says:


strip the image of any profiles, comments or these PNG chunks:
bKGD,cHRM,EXIF,gAMA,iCCP,iTXt,sRGB,tEXt,zCCP,zTXt,date.

If your images are for web or digital usage (I mean RGB 72dpi) you can use Photoshop "save for web" with the option "Metadata: None". It will produce a simple image with no data added (this is to optimize the size).

You can make a batch and save in this way thousands of images automatically.

This will not work if you need CMYK or images that are bigger than a certain size ("save for web" will still work for images up to 5000x5000 pixels), unless you make a second batch to re-save in CMYK 300 dpi or whatever you need. But it is not recommended.
