Hi Cliff!
That way you can delete the audio within a track, but the track remains.
You need to select the track by pressing enter and then select Remove
Tracks from the Tracks menu. I record songs as well and I have assigned a
short key to Remove Tracks so I can dump them right away when I've made an
error. You can do that in the keybord tab in Preferences.
By the way, pressing home and end will take you to the start and end of
the project, not the track. Within a selected track, press j to go to the
start of the track and k to go to the end.
Cheers, Robbie

Subject: [audacity4blind] Deleting a track
I'm recording some tunes for voice and guitar one track at a time. The
first problem I encounter is that I start by recording one mono track.
Then when I go to record another, there are three tracks with the same
music on them. So I try to delete one of them using the following steps:
1 Use the arrow keys to select the track.
2 Press the Home key to get to the start of the track.
3 Place a [ there, and press Okay on the resulting dialog box.
4 Press the end key to get to the end of the track and place a ] there.
5 At this point the whole thing should be selected so I press the Delete
key. When that fails I try selecting Delete from the Edit menu. Neither
deletes the audio.
Alternatively, I've tried going to the start of the track, holding down
the shift, going to the end of the track, then trying to delete. I've
tried that approach forwards and backwards.
Lastly, when I add a single new track to the project two more appear on
the screen. So it seems I have two problems. How to delete, and how to
add one track at a time. What am I doing wrong here?
Cliff
