Delete Track command stopped working.

Title

Delete Track command stopped working.

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

I'm writing a script to automate cleaning up my session to send to the client after the record. So far I had it renaming the session, selecting the Routing folder and some other tracks to delete,and deleting them. There is a folder full of tracks that gets deleted so a window pops up asking if I want to keep or delete the tracks inside the folder. I have the script waiting for that and selecting delete. Since some of the other tracks have clips in them Pro Tools then pops up a window telling me there are clips in some of the tracks. I was working on this code when the delete tracks stopped working. Now when I run the script it doesn't try to delete any tracks. I just get an error that it timed out waiting for the window to pop up. I don't think I changed anything else. I'm sure i'm missing something.

Are you seeing an error?

The script is not running the delete tracks command and is timing out waiting for the window that pops up when delete tracks is run.

What happens when you run this script?

It selects the correct tracks but doesn't try to delete them.

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app

How important is this issue to you?
