Exif data remover

Hi,

I used FileMind Quick Fix to remove metadata/exif from files. It is a very small software with no impact on resources whatsoever and used to do its job but with the recent windows update it has started showing an error and does not work

Is there any similar simple software which is not high on resources?

Thanks

https://exiftool.org/ It is showing me the exif details but not for example the device/mobile model number via which the image was created/taken. Moreover I am not able to edit/modify it. Any help?
Is there any software like FileMind Quick Fix for this purpose? The interface of this software is so simple and so easy to use. Their website is down http://www.metabilitysoftware.com/ Any way to contact the dev of this software?

You have to download the exe as well as gui tool from this link: https://exiftool.org/gui/

Once done your folder should look like these:

The exiftool.exe is the original file you download at this link which needs to be renamed (as mentioned on the above link)

I was not able to specify this as it has been years I'm using it now but today gave it a try and I recalled it all.

I bet you wont regret with this tool!

I have few more tools which I used to use but need to hunt in data..

Thank you. Two queries-
1. Whenever all the exif data is removed it changes the orientation of the target file. If we reorient it using windows photos, the exif starts to show Windows Photo editor. If we again use exiftool it removes that but then again the orientation changes. Any way out of this?
2. If we select the option to keep the backup of the source files then it adds the name like original after the .jpg extension and it needs to be removed manually to access the original file. Anyway out of this too?

For the orientation problem, I've been running ImageMagick from command line before removing exif data.

Code: 
convert xyz.jpg  -auto-orient
