This one should do the trick:

(defun dmj:org:remove-empty-propert-drawers ()
  "*Remove all empty property drawers in current file."
  (interactive)
  (unless (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
    (error "You need to turn on Org mode for this function."))
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward ":PROPERTIES:" nil t)
      (save-excursion
	(org-remove-empty-drawer-at "PROPERTIES" (match-beginning 0))))))

If called interactively in an Org mode buffer it searches for the
string ":PROPERTIES:" and tells Org to remove the drawer if it is
empty.  Just used it to get rid of empty CLOCK drawers -- but beware:
It is a very stupid function, i.e. it does not check if the
string :PROPERTIES: is actually a property drawer or not.
