Hi,
I tried to add a CATEGORY property recently in an org file and I was
offered to repair badly formatted PROPERTY drawers. I accepted since I
thought there was a unique element to fix but it fixed way much.
In fact, the fix has consisted in adding one empty PROPERTY block per
heading element (I don't know why though). Now I am looking for a way
to delete all of them :/
How would you do that ?
Thank you
-- Xavier.

Org-mode comes with the function `org-remove-empty-drawer-at', so
removing empty :PROPERTIES: becomes trivial
M-:
#+BEGIN_SRC
(with-current-buffer "monsysteme.org"
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward ":PROPERTIES:" nil t)
(save-excursion (org-remove-empty-drawer-at (match-beginning 0)))))
#+END_SRC
There is probably something better to do it (replacing
`with-current-buffer' comes to mind for example), but it works.
Regards
