How to completely remove FLAC metadata with foobar

Remove Tags in foobar does not remove all metadata from FLAC files. Is there anyway to do it completely without resorting to metaflac.exe?

Which tags are you referring to that are not removed? Are you referring to attached images? Perhaps the encoder version string? The channel layout? The original RIFF WAV header?

Funnily enough I was going to start a thread about this with m4a files but after testing I found it happens with flac as well - therefore it can go in here. Using the properties dialog>tools>remove tag does not remove embedded art from m4a or flac. In both cases the art was written with foobar (just for testing). I wouldn't mind using tagging>remove all pictures except using properties>tools>remove tags DOES remove art from mp3 files. I think behaviour should be consistent across all formats that are supported.

edit: just for clarity, I only tested front.

Valid issue, thanks for reporting. I'm looking into it.
