Remove Silence???

This is a basic function but for the life of me I can't find it. How does one remove silence throughout an audio file?

Thanks!

...will nip the start/end trailing silences, but not sure about "all throughout a file". Personally, it's best done "by hand" anyway, as unexpected things can happen with auto-length compressions - in other words, if you don't do it yourself, you might be surprised when five minutes vanishes from "somewhere" in the middle of a 3-hour track.

I never tried auto trim

I've done it by hand,

I magnify the lower section, looking for dead air or advertisements

and clik along the top section , from left to right

advancing the lower area just enough to see

all I need...deleting dead air and or advertisements

along the way...
