- <title>Deleting Tracks</title>
- <para>
- Deleting a track is permanent operation that cannot be undone.
- However, since the audio, MIDI, automation and other data associated
- with the track will remain as part of the session, and the actual
- playlist(s) that were in use by the track are still available. for use
- by other tracks. As a result, although inadvertently deleting a track
- is inconvenient, it doesn't result in any significant loss of
- information.

- <para>
- Click on the name of the track you want to delete. From the menu
- that appears, select <guimenuitem>Remove</guimenuitem>. A
