Hi so I'm at my wits end coz I am trying to remove xattr data in an image file that is a "Where from" xattr data. This is on a Mojave mac. This data is written via chrome browser for mac whenever an image is downloaded via this browser. So I tried this command: xattr -d com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms test.jpg but it shows the following result: xattr: test.jpg: No such xattr: com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms How do I remove this data from the image file then? Thanks in advance!
