Hi Matthew,

OpenSlide does not provide any functionality at all for modifying slide 
files.

I'm not aware of any; the SVS documentation states that the label is 
optional.  It should be as simple as finding the TIFF directory for the 
label, overwriting its image strips with zeros, and removing the 
directory from the linked list of TIFF directories.
