How to delete unused property names?

[poegtam]

When I started to use the new feature properties, I created some property names, and now I want to delete some unused property names, but I can’t figure out how to do this.
It seems that each property name I created is saved, although no notes are assigned to that perperty.

Properties Wrangler: Add a way to "Rename" and "Remove" properties and values in all files

Use case or problem The new Properties feature is fantastic. Now that it's here, ideas are flowing. One idea could help those of us who seem often to "refactor" notes by changing metadata, etc. There is some sweet new functionality already with the new Properties feature, but the ability to edit all files in the vault with some commands would be awesome, similar to Tag Wrangler. Currently it is a manual job to rename or remove properties, and this takes a lot of time even in modestly sized vaul…

See this bug report, which seems to handle a similar case.

Properties Plugin doesn't forget some unused Keys

We don’t remove registered properties automatically (in case you plan on using them again in the future). But you can manually remove them by just right-clicking in the All Properties view and clicking “Unassign type.”

Thanks, I will try.

Exactly the answer I am looking for! This is a known bug and will be fixed shortly. Thanks.

I would like to have some data management features coming in the future
I have assigned some notes with A property, and now, realize I dont need it anymore, would like to have a easy way to delete them all as easy as the unassign option.

Good point. However, some properties have ‘unassign’ greyed out. In my case, Excalidraw properties still appear, even though I have deleted the plugin, and they can’t be anassigned. Any clue as to how make them disappear ?

Solved: I had a file with those properties assigned.
