      Hi Juan,

      Can you quote the script you're using here?

          Sure here it is the script

          // Delete Empty Tracks

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

function processTrack(trackName) {
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [trackName], deselectOthers: true });
    if (sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames[0] !== trackName)
        throw 'Could not select track: ' + trackName;

    //Refresh menu
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackScrollToView();
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.titleButton.mouseClickElement();

    var trackIsEmpty = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Track', 'Delete').exists;
    var trackIsAudioTrack = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.title.value.indexOf('Audio Track') >= 0;

    if (trackIsEmpty && trackIsAudioTrack) {
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Track', 'Delete').elementClick({}, 'Could not delete track: ' + trackName);
    }
}

function main() {
    var trackNames = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames.slice();
    trackNames.map(processTrack);
}

main();

            This should work :)

            
// Delete Empty Tracks

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

function processTrack(trackName) {
    sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({ names: [trackName], deselectOthers: true });
    if (sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames[0] !== trackName)
        throw 'Could not select track: ' + trackName;

    //Refresh menu
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.trackScrollToView();
    sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.titleButton.mouseClickElement();

    var trackIsEmpty = sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Track', 'Delete').exists;
    var trackIsAudioTrack = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.title.value.indexOf('Audio Track') >= 0;

    if (trackIsEmpty && trackIsAudioTrack) {
        sf.ui.proTools.getMenuItem('Track', 'Delete').elementClick({}, 'Could not delete track: ' + trackName);
        sf.ui.proTools.invalidate();
    }
}

function main() {
    var trackNames = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrackNames.slice();
    trackNames.map(processTrack);
}

main();

                  Didn't work either.

                  Actually right now is no Deleting any tracks at all.

                  Thanks in advance

                    The script is designed to only delete any empty tracks that were selected. So make sure to select all tracks you want the script to consider for deletion before running it :)

                I was having a similar sort of issue with this one but I think I fixed it by also adding sf.ui.proTools.invalidate(); to the beginning, just after sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();
