Description
XDeleteProperty() deletes a window property, so that it no longer contains any data. Its atom, specified by property, still exists after
the call so that it can be used again later by any application to set the property once again. If the property was defined on the speci-
fied window, XDeleteProperty() generates a PropertyNotify event.
