Delete tracks...

In Premiere Pro v26 and earlier, Delete Tracks... had simple checkboxes to remove all empty video and audio tracks. It took 2 clicks.

In v27, these have been replaced with dropdowns. You now have to open each dropdown, select All Empty Tracks, and click outside because the dropdown doesn't even close automatically.

What took 2 clicks now takes 6, or 9 if you also want to remove caption tracks.

Yes, I'm aware you can assign a keyboard shortcut, but that's not always viable on shared machines, and a shortcut shouldn't be necessary to work around a worse UI.

Bring back the checkboxes. Alternatively, add Delete All Empty Tracks directly to the right-click menu under the existing Delete Tracks... command. I'm sure that's something editors have requested before, and it would make this a genuinely one-click operation.
