Blender files have the potential to contain personal data in the form of filepaths. Filepaths can be read in Blender through the Python API, or by analyzing the .blend file with a hex editor.
This addon lets you save a copy of the current file with those filepaths removed.

strings in the current fileThe new file will be saved with the current filename appended with "_cleaned". Blender will close once the cleaned file is saved to prevent it from being accidentally overwritten.
A text file containing the cleared filepaths will also be saved.
This extension requests the following permission:

Sidenote: You can remove commented out lines from blender_manifest to make it more readable. You don't have to keep them.
Hey everyone,
Just a heads-up about a recent change regarding the licensing of add-ons on the Blender extension platform. Moving forward, all add-ons will need to be released under the GNU/GPL 3.0 license (SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later). This is mainly to keep things simple and consistent across the board.
Previously, we accepted various licenses as long as they were compatible with Blender’s distribution. However, to avoid any confusion and streamline the process, all add-ons using the bpy API should now be presented as GPL 3 (the same license the Blender bundle is distributed). Regardless of whether the original code was under GPL 2, or something else like MIT or ZLIB.
Existing add-ons versions won't be affected. However, new updates will need to comply to the revised requirements.
Thanks for understanding, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
