I have such object:
> p_mb
Simple feature collection with 52 features and 0 fields (with 9 geometries empty)
geometry type: GEOMETRY
dimension: XY
bbox: xmin: 585001.4 ymin: 211001.9 xmax: 609998.1 ymax: 236998.6
epsg (SRID): NA
proj4string: NA
First 10 features:

obtained from negative buffering other sf object. My question is simple, how to delete those empty slots to not get error and warnings:
> p_pol <- sf::st_cast(p_mb0, "POLYGON")
There were 23 warnings (use warnings() to see them)

Error: length(srl) > 0 is not TRUE
I think I can skip those warnings.
Found workaround: just used p_uni <- sf::st_union(p_mb) after buffer, but this is only emergency exit.
My first guess was to use st_area and select for those with area greater than zero. But I looked at the docs and found st_is_empty. For example here's some constructed test data:
> p = st_point(c(1,1))
> pv = st_sfc(p,p,p,p,p)
> bv = st_buffer(pv, c(1,1,0,-1,2))
> d = st_sf(bv)
> d$ID=1:5
Which has two empty polygons:
> d
Simple feature collection with 5 features and 1 field (with 2 geometries empty)
geometry type: POLYGON
dimension: XY
bbox: xmin: -1 ymin: -1 xmax: 3 ymax: 3
epsg (SRID): NA
proj4string: NA
bv ID
1 POLYGON ((2 1, 1.99863 0.94... 1
2 POLYGON ((2 1, 1.99863 0.94... 2
3 POLYGON EMPTY 3
4 POLYGON EMPTY 4
5 POLYGON ((3 1, 2.997259 0.8... 5
Get only the non-empty with:
> dne = d[!st_is_empty(d),,drop=FALSE]
> dne

Building off of the answer by @Spacedman, you can filter out empty geometries using st_is_empty with a tidyverse approach
dne <- d %>% filter(!st_is_empty(.))
