As I've mentioned, this is fixed in Windows 8 and up. Windows 7 is more than 8 years old at this point and is in maintenance mode. It's not going to have this problem fixed.

On photos taken with smartphones running Windows Phone 7.5, the "remove properties and personal information" feature fails on removing GPS coordinates from the pictures.
After importing the picture to my computer, I right-click the picture in Windows Explorer and go in Properties>Details tab.
I click "remove personal information"
I get an error saying it was unable to remove the property. It fails on all three GPS properties: Latitude, Longitude and Altitude.
Any idea why?
