Replace

stories.textFrames

with

stories[i].textFrames

everywhere (five times).

We also need to replace this:

 stories.insertionPoints[ix]);

by this:

stories[i].insertionPoints[ix]);

Corrected script [Thanks Peter] below:

(function () {
var stories = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().getElements();
var ix;
for (var i = stories.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
while (stories[i].textFrames.length > 0) {
ix = stories[i].textFrames[-1].parent.index;
stories[i].textFrames[-1].texts[0].move (LocationOptions.AFTER, stories[i].insertionPoints[ix]);
stories[i].textFrames[-1].locked = false;
stories[i].textFrames[-1].remove();
}
}
}());

Hi @kanagakumar ,

just a note:

Because the iterators [i] are missing several times in the code you posted in your inital post, you may found the script code somewhere in the forum here. A typical forum bug with old code! Very likely this code was damaged when the old thread was moved from the old InDesign Scripting forum to this new InDesign forum here in October 2019.

So be careful to copy old code pre October 2019 here from forum posts.
