From the Edit menu, choose Delete to remove selected events or tracks without copying them to the clipboard.
Tips:
-
When the Cut, copy, and delete grouped events check box on the Editing tab of the Preferences dialog is selected, cutting, copying, or deleting an event will affect all events in the same group. If you need to delete a single event, you can choose Ignore Event Grouping from the Options menu to temporarily ignore grouping.
-
If you want to remove time from all tracks in your project, create a time selection that encompasses the time you want to delete. Select the Auto Ripple button
(or press Ctrl+L). Next, click the down arrow 
next to the Auto Ripple button and choose All Tracks, Markers, and Regions. When you delete the time selection, the selected portion of the timeline is removed, and events t
o the right of the deleted section shift left to fill the space.
