    I assigned the keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+D to delete all empty audio and video tracks, it's great and saves me from having to run multiple commands.

      It looks like this is the only way.


      Here's my way. You only need to use the keyboard so it makes it a bit faster.

       

      1 - In the menu bar go to Sequence and make sure that "Selection Follows Playhead" is checked.

      2 - On your timeline, highlight all audio tracks and un-highlight the video tracks.

      3 - Select the first audio clip, Ctrl+x then Ctrl+v, it will be pasted on the first audio track.

      4 - After pasting, the playhead automatically moves to the next clip and selects it, Ctrl+x Ctrl+v to cut the selected clip and paste it on the first track.

      5 - Rinse and repeat until you reach the end of your timeline. You can keep pressing Ctrl while alternating x and v for faster input.
