You can hyold the option key when clicking on the button in this window to have that choice applied to the same question for the remainder of your operation.

If you selected and deleted the track, this would be expected. If you selected and deleted (not removed) the clips, then this is not right. Which did you select - the tracks or the clips?

No.

You have to delete the tracks you do not want to keep, then select unused clips and delete the unused clips.
