You can also use Split/Trim to delete an unwanted section of an event entirely.
✓ Choose a different frame on the event, then hold CTRL+ALT+Shift as you click the event at that frame, just like before. This time, trim the clip all the way to its end point. Release the mouse button and keys. The section of the event is now deleted.
