I’m doing a major revision to a previously-completed board due to customer-requested changes. Re-doing the layout is a breeze, thanks to KiCad’s awesome routing tools, but what is very tedious is removing the old tracks - I have to go in and delete every tiny fragment of track making up the run. In KiCad 4 a right-click on a track yielded options for deleting the clicked segment or the entire track, but it seems that the complete-track delete is gone in KiCad 5. Am I missing something?
Select a segment and try pressing ‘u’ or ‘i’
Otherwise you can use delete as a hotkey when hovering over the trace
Under the Main Menu in the “Edit” menu is “Cleanup Tracks and Vias…” option. The checkbox option to “Delete dangling tracks” should should speed up the time it takes to clean things up.

Perfect, thanks, this will be a big time-saver!
Block selection is usually problematic when selectively deleting tracks on a crowded board.
