Ripple Delete is not shortening the video length

Hello, I don't know if it's just me, but previously, when I would ripple delete, or clear a part of the video, the video would also shorten by that length. However, now it just keeps the video length the same as the original file even if I ripple delete, which ends up meaning there is just black nothingness for minutes or hours that I have to trim out by editing the length for the export. It was more convenient when it would just do it automatically. Is there something I am doing differently or is a change for Premiere Pro?
