First, control x is cut as in cutting to the clipboard. Instead of
needlessly placing what you want to delete in memory in the clipboard, use
the delete command for Audacity, control k. If you decide to remove large
amounts of material, using control x will place a lot of material in
memory, needlessly using it.
You are cutting the material using the correct procedure. the reason it
appears that you have removed earlier material is that play starts from
the position of the left marker. the left marker is still where it was.
if you use home after you delete the material, you will move the left
marker to the start of the file and play will begin at the start of the
file.
Learning in a proper organized manner will save you lots of unnecessary
problems. Depending on what you already know, you may or may not find
the following of use. I think that at least skimming the material would
be worth doing. You can download a presentation I did on the basics of
Audacity using this link:

The first part of the presentation deals with Audacity and the second part
deals with Mp3 Direct Cut.
