To open *Metadata Cleaner*, choose **Apps&nbsp;▸ Accessories&nbsp;▸ Metadata Cleaner**.
 
<div class="caution">
<div class="caution">
<p>It is impossible to reliably find and remove all metadata in complex file
formats. For example, <i>Microsoft Office</i> documents can contain embedded images,
audio, and other files containing their own metadata that Tails cannot
remove.</p>
 
<p>You should remove metadata on any files before you embed them into another
document.</p>
<p>Sie sollten Metadaten von Dateien entfernen, bevor Sie sie in ein anderes
Dokument einbetten.</p>
<p>Also, you should save files in simpler formats whenever possible.
For example, instead of saving a text document as a .docx file,
you can save the document as a plain .txt file.</p>
 
Removing metadata from the command line
 
*Metadata Cleaner* is a graphical interface for
[*mat2*](https://github.com/jvoisin/mat2).
 
You can also use *mat2* directly on the command line:
 
Open a *Console*.
Öffnen Sie ein *Terminal*-Fenster.
Execute the following command. Replace <span class="command-placeholder">file.ext</span> with a path to the file that you want to clean.
Ersetzen Sie <span class="command-placeholder">file.ext</span> durch den Pfad zu der Datei,
die Sie bereinigen möchten.
<p class="command-template">mat2 <span class="command-placeholder">file.ext</span></p>
<p class="command-template">mat2 <span class="command-placeholder">file.ext</span></p>
After *mat2* finishes, a copy of your file without metadata is available as <span class="command-placeholder">file.cleaned.ext</span>.
Nachdem *mat2* fertig ist, ist eine Kopie Ihrer Datei ohne Metadaten als <span class="command-placeholder">file.cleaned.ext</span> verfügbar.
