Hi, although I have extensive experience with Audacity, this issue is vexing me:


I record a very short track, maybe one second

I want to shorten it to let's say 100 milliseconds

I press the left square bracket for the time-set interface and set the time to 100 milliseconds, and press OK

I assume now that the cursor is at the 100 milliseconds point

I make sure the track is selected

I press Shift k to select from the 100-millisecond cursor point to the end

I press the delete key

The track does not get shortened, it is the same full length

What am I doing wrong here and how do I shorten the track to 100 milliseconds?
