-AllDates Back to Nil

[JW Stephenson]

I have accidently added a date to some scans whereby I am still researching the correct date and thus would like to return them to the "nil" state that they were before using the ExifTool to modify -AllDates to the date specified in error.  That way when they are sorted in a folder by capture time they always rise to the top.  I can't seem to find the ExifTool command to simply remove specific tags or the date to specify such that executing -AllDates would blank or zero out the fields.

Anyone know the way to do this with ExifTool?

Thanks!

Here's the syntax to remove DateTimeOriginal:

exiftool -xmp:datetimeoriginal= -exif:datetimeoriginal= file

Thanks John  I knew it was simple but could not find it.  Love this forum for stuff like this!
