using svn propdel on multiple directories

I need to use svn propdel svn:externals on multiple files/directories in the following directory structure:

Dir1/src/xxx/Adir
Dir1/src/xxx/Bdir
Dir1/src/xxx/Cdir

Every time I have to cd to each dir before I run the command svn propdel svn:externals. Is there any way I can do it for all of them with just one command at Dir1 level or xxx level?

Right now if I try the command at those levels I get an error

Attempting to delete nonexistent property 'svn:externals' on '.'

You can pass a directory or directories as arguments to svn propdel:

svn propdel svn:externals dir1 dir2 dir3

You can also use the --recursive flag to delete the property from all directories in a tree:

svn propdel --recursive svn:externals parent_dir

If the property is not set for one of the directories you specify, you will get the Attempting to delete nonexistent property warning, but it's only a warning, you can ignore it.
