 For one file:

 old.org  stripped.org

Hmm... perl.

Within emacs, that would be something like

C-
M-x keep-lines RET
^\*\|:PROPERTIES:\(.\|\n\)+?:END:
(\n via C-q C-j)

...

right?

Make backup copies before you try this

For one file:

  perl -ne 'print if /^\*+ / or /^\s*:PROPERTIES:\s*$/../^\s*:END:\s*$/' 
old.org  stripped.org


For a bunch of files, with .bak backup copies


  perl -ni.bak -e 'print if /^\*+ / or /^\s*:PROPERTIES:\s*$/../^\s*:END:\s*$/' 
*.org
