Use this method to delete an existing IPTC field.
You can refer to fields either using the common names or using a more formal "Record:DataSet" format as defined in the IPTC specification. For more details see Add.
When you delete an item referred to by name, all IPTC items with that name are deleted. For example if you call this method with the parameter "keyword" this will delete all keywords in the information set.
Note that information changes are not applied until Embed is called.

[C#]
string theFile = Server.MapPath("rez/iptc.jpg");
XImageLoadOptions loadOptions = new XImageLoadOptions();
loadOptions.ReadIPTC = true;
XImage image = XImage.FromFile(theFile, loadOptions);
if (image.IPTC != null) {
image.IPTC.Delete("Headline");
image.IPTC.Delete("2:110"); // Credit
image.IPTC.Embed(theFile);
}
[Visual Basic]
Dim theFile As String = Server.MapPath("rez/iptc.jpg")
Dim loadOptions As New XImageLoadOptions()
loadOptions.ReadIPTC = True
Dim image As XImage = XImage.FromFile(theFile, loadOptions)
If image.IPTC IsNot Nothing Then
image.IPTC.Delete("Headline")
image.IPTC.Delete("2:110")
' Credit
image.IPTC.Embed(theFile)
End If
The code reads the IPTC information from a JPEG file. It deletes the headline and credit and updates the file.
