Additional Information

When publishing from ArcMap, metadata is always included and is readily available regardless of organization settings.

Workaround

Option 1: To remove the metadata after publishing, enable metadata for the organization, navigate to the item, edit the metadata, and delete it. Disable metadata for the organization. However, this occurs each time a service is overwritten. Option 2: Upgrade to ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3 or ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3.1.
