--- Comment #4 from DrSlony <bugs at seeitmyway.org> ---
I tagged a photo with the following:
kaka, bar, chestnut, test, foo

To remove all XMP and IPTC I ran:
exiftool -XMP:all= -IPTC:all= -overwrite_original 0005.tif

I verified that all XMP/IPTC tags were deleted using:
exiftool -a -G1 -s 0005.tif

or to simplify it:
exiftool -a -G1 -s 0005.tif | grep -i kaka

No "kaka".

In digiKam I clicked
Album > Reread metadata from images
as well as
Images > Reread metadata from selected images

digiKam still shows the deleted tags in the following places in the right
metadata panel:
IPTC > keywords (contains the deleted tags "kaka, bar, chestnut, test, foo")
XMP > Microsoft Photo > Last Keyword XMP
XMP > Dublin Core > Subject
XMP > digiKam schema > Tags List
XMP > lr > hierarchicalSubject

I checked the file again using exiv2. Neither exiv2 or exiftool reported any of
these tags in the file, so I'm sure the tags digiKam is showing are from its
own digikam.db but it shouldn't, because I clicked "reread metadata from
images"!
I'm distressed.
