How the f@%^ can I delete audio mixer settings AND the clip out of my timeline in one "delete" key press

I find myself pulling my hair out because I'll perform an add edit on a clip in my timeline and then I want to delete it from my timeline - I highlight it in segment mode and hit delete only to have it remove my audio mixer settings. Then I have to highlight it again and then hit delete again to remove the clip entirely. Is there a keyboard modifier I need to press along with delete or another button I can be pressing to do this with one key stroke once it's highlighted? I tried "lift" but it only gives me the default apple error sound and I tried many different ways of using it.

Thanks!
