How to Delete a Wav file ?

[Geek]

Whilst I like the VinylStudio Program, the one thing that I do hate is the poor response to deleting a track. I imported several wave files with a view to creating a CD. There were two tracks that I wished to delete and after using a past Windows Program Spin It Again, I thought that the track would most likely be shaded out and not used after delete. What I found was that nothing seemed be done to the track and it stayed in place! However in the split track mode, all the track pointers - beginning and end – moved! They didn't move in any particular logical method but moved into parts of the recorded tracks. I spend no end of time moving the track markers to the silent parts thinking that I had got away with things. Then I find that the track is still listed but the listings do not relate to the tracks anymore! Furthermore trying to correct things within the track layout only make matters worse. The one irritation I find is that there is no explanation as to how track deletion works.

It would be good if this was explained. Thanks

In Split Tracks view:

I would drag the green flag from the start of track to just before the end of the track

Then delete the track

I think that does it.

Another trick is to hold down the Alt key while deleting a track.  That preserves the markers.  Also (and probably best), you can keep the unwanted tracks and untick 'Include in saved tracks' in the Edit Track Details dialog for the tracks you don't want to save.

Thanks for the information given. I actually got into a right mess because I deleted tracks but found they were still there and I wasn't sure whether the system had deleted them or not. I then tried to delete from the list of tracks above and wondered if this would work.v When I went back to the various tracks that I had imported as a list, I found that the tracks are gone completely haywire and we're all jumbled upand also the spits in the track were all over the place! Clearly there is a way of deleting a track without causing so much chaos. I then read that if you use the Alt key when deleting that things stay pretty much static. I got in such a mess that I had to start all over again. I've even decided that it was best if I deleted the track before importing. This was a lesson learned.
