AFAIK if you use "save for web" it strips the EXIF however......I am not sure whether it removes all metadata.
 
I think you have to set "Save for Web" to strip the EXIF.
Another way to hide it would be to copy an image and paste it onto a blank new image in PS or similar. IIRC this will leave the image's EXIF blank.
 
Equally, if this has worked, you can copy an image onto another and leave the EXIF intact - the image below isn't what the EXIF says it is!

Lightroom has options to strip out metadata on right hand column and also in the export settings
 
There is a free tool called ExifTool which can do almost anything with the Exif data - however it is an extremely powerful tool using command line instructions and takes a bit of learning - but ALWAYS make a copy of any image if you decide to use it.

Highlight the whole image, copy it, start a new file, paste it, save it. And as they would say "Bob's your uncle."
