Thanks in advance and sorry if my English is not too clean and perfect, I don't use very often to talk about this book questions in this language, I hope is all understandable!
The Quality check plugin might do some of what you want ==>> Index of plugins

And the Search and Replace tab in Bulk (select multiple books) Metadata Edit can find patterns using Regular Expressions which can be replaced or removed - S&R specs can be saved with a name for later reuse. Be careful with this, there's no undo - make sure you have a backup of the library. I use a Test library if I'm uncertain.
