I've now deleted all redundant info from both IPTC and XMP - from Dublin Core, 
but I still haven't found a way of removing tags from Xmp.digiKam.TagsList 
without using exiv2 from the command line and I've no idea how to remove 
Xmp.lr.hierarchicalSubject as exiv2 dosn't recognise it and I'm not even sure 
what it is for.
