Maybe but I wouldn’t trust MS to do the job even if it appeared true. Use a reputable open source tool made for the job if you can

Results are in. According to jimpl.com, saving as PNG in MS Paint does remove some exif data.

I don’t know what’s possible to be stored as exif data so I can’t tell you if this is everything. But here’s my result.

Interesting. Location is the big one though, which your test image didn’t have.

Good catch. I’m satisfied with the test so I won’t be doing another one. Feel free to try one of your own photos which includes location data and report back to us with your findings.
