Yes I know there are other software but I want to make it more handy
to do it in one application within GIMP

Any such plugin?

More handy than

Code:
exiftool -all= foo.jpg


 Sorry I don't understand how to use this code?

Can I use it to batch delete EXIF in GIMP?

I know how to delete a single image , but I need batch

Not in Gimp, in a command prompt. Gimp is a total overkill for this. And it is going to be slow, since it uncompresses and recompresses images (whch introduces a slight lost of data, by the way). With Gimp, losing the Exif is just a side-effect. Something like:

Code:
FOR /F  %%F IN (dir /b /s *.JPG) DO exiftool -all= %F

Exif tool keeps the original version of your file (named _original). When you feel more confident you can use:

Code:
FOR /F  %%F IN (dir /b /s *.JPG) DO exiftool -overwrite_original -all= %F


(the syntax of the commands above is made up from examples found on the web, need to be tested/checked by someone with access to Windows).
