System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.17763 64 Bits
Graphics card: Quadro M2000M/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 431.23

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 75), branch: master, commit date: 2019-07-29 14:47, hash: f6cb5f5449
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
There is no option in the NLA editor's user interface that enables a user to delete an NLA track. You can press delete on the keyboard but there is no delete option available from the edit menu as one would expect. This baffled me for about 20 minutes before I figured it out and I've been working with Blender for 5+ years now.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Try to delete an NLA track without using the keyboard.

Thanks for the report, but it is there for me: Edit --> Delete Strips.

Closing for now. If you still have a problem please share a simple .blend file to be sure we are talking about the same thing here.

Hi Dalai

Edit --> Delete Strips deletes the NLA action clip you have selected but not the track itself.

To delete the track you either need to hit delete on the keyboard as I mentioned, which deletes both the clip and the track.

Or you can delete the strip and then do Edit --> Remove Empty Animation Data. This is a two step process and will delete all empty tracks indiscriminately though however.

So yeah there's definitely no menu option in the UI that allows you to delete a single track(s) in one operation (like the delete key does).

Thanks

Adam
