Removing camera data

[Helen]

Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong. I try to remove my camera data by Tools > delete metadata > Exif
I thought this would do the trick, but it doesn't remove them when I check in CS4. The only way I can seem to clear my camera settings is when I also tick
Tools > delete metadata > XMP  but that clears everything. Is there a way I can clear the camera settings without losing everything else, or do I simply have to wipe everything to begin with and then apply data. I was wondering if I could clear camera data without losing my contact details etc.
Thanks
Helen

The 'EXIF' data that CS4 is seeing is indeed contained in the XMP data.  The Delete Metadata tool currently does not delete this data from XMP files when you tell it to delete EXIF data.  I'll see if I can get the next update version to do that modification.
