Add a Delete Metadata button to ArcCatalog

[NicoBurgerhart1]

If I want to delete existing metadata, the only way is importing an empty XML document...
I would like a Delete Metadata button on the Metadata toolbar in ArcCatalog.

You could make a button in ArcCatalog and then attach the code in this example to achieve this...

See the following ESRI knowledge base article to delete all metadata BUT this only works using a Personal Geodatabase (.mdb) and NOT a File Geodatabase (.gdb)

Has anyone tested (ArcGIS 10.1) the code sample that Hornbydd posted in his comment back in 2011?

That piece of ESRI code dates back to 2001 as a ArcObject Sample for 8.3.

Just curious.
