It's unbelievable, but even with this remove/undo function, I don't get the Remark tag viewable in Windows Explorer.  
The only way to see it in Explorer is to remove de ID3v2 tag in WinAmp and then re-add it by copying from the ID3v1 tag also in Winamp. But like this I loose some extra tags from the ID3v2 format AND I need to KNOW which files are like this!  
After this I noticed in mp3trag that the IDtag size remains the same: 2061 Byte.

I also tried the id3clean.exe tool with -compact option but that doesn't help either.  
(see post [how to reduce filesize after deleting unwanted tags?](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/4243/1)  
This tool can remove the unused padding in the tags, fine to reduce the filesize a little more. A shame it doesn't has a windows shell, maybe this also would be a nice feature for mp3tag to include.
