Do it the easy way. The procedure you were told yesterday appears to be useful if you want to jump to a place in the file. If you remove material as you are doing, partway through the file, after you use the delete command, don't press home. If you just issue the delete command, you will be where you made the removal. You don't have to jump anywhere. You are loosing your place in the file because you are pressing home after you issue the delete command. Home moves the cursor to the start of the file. When you delete selected text from a document, where is the cursor after you remove the text? It's right where you made the removal. It's exactly the same in Audacity. If you select material and delete it where is the cursor? It's where you made the deletion.
