In Premiere Elements 2025 (Advanced) how do I delete just the audio track (or just the video track) of a clip? In 2024 and earlier it was easy...select the clip, right click, and select Delete Audio or Delete Video. Thanks.

Thanks Bill and Ann! I had found yours Bill and your first one Ann; your 2nd one is new to me. I will be figuring out which one is easiest to me (I do a lot of this, particularly unwanted audio during breaks). However, they all take more effort than the 1-step 2024-and earlier version. Request is one of the following:

- Someone has a way to turn on (restore) the Delete Audio and Delete Video options in the right click pop-up

- Adobe brings back the Delete Audiop and Delete Video options in the pop-up, fast

Strange to me that Adobe would degrade the user interface. Any one from Adobe reading?

(give me a couple minutes to respond to each of your inputs)

Or:

hold down Alt > select audio of video and hit Delete.

O:

uncheck Lindked Selection in the left hand top corner of the timeline: select audio of video and hit Delete.

Dont forget to turn it back on as it can mess up your timeline.

Thaks Ann. Your Alt one seems good but I still count it as 2 steps (vs 1 step in the 2024-and-earlier) - Alt-Select (have to remember the Alt) and Delete (Clear). The second one is more - 3 or 4 steps depending on how one counts, so it's the first of the 3 I'm not using, I think, but I appreciate and learn from all input.

You can simply right-click on the track header - see image - e.g. on the word Audio 1 and choose delete track.

Select the clip in the timeline, right click and select "Unlink". Then you can select either the audio or video half and press Delete.

Thanks Bill. I count this as 3 steps (vs 1 step in 2024-and-earlier) - Unlink, Select, Delete (Clear). Also for others, if I change my mind, this is one way to relink them - hold down Shift and select both then right clink / Link
