These are versioned properties, they can only be deleted with a
working copy. I wouldn't worry about deleting them from tags and
other places where you are not making changes. Just trunk and active
branches. If you get a list of location that have the property,
perhaps you can use svn checkout --depth=empty to check out those
locations and remove the properties? For files, you'd need to
checkout the parent folder with depth=files.
