How big is the file? You can probably post it on hightail.com and give a download link. I'd be curious to check it out. Every issue is a potential article or blog post

Read to OP again. He is deleting data (the area is full of events) but can't get the hole deleted by checking the "Delete hole". "The music in the tracks is deleted but the hole remains".
 
Perhaps the solution is that not everyhting is deleted?

On a side note, I'm glad Akismet finally figured out that Finland is a country and not an ad for vodka.

Whoops, my bad. Sorry.
 
How many bars long is the section you want to delete? Can you try deleting one bar at a time? 
It sounds as though there is some event data (tempo? Markers? Automation?) that isn't getting selected, but if you're in the "Cut Special" dialog, you get the checkboxes for the event category, and usually it just works.
 
Does the "Event View" show anything for that section of the timeline?

Tried to delete only one bar but hole is still there. Trying to delete 6 measures and now that I looked in the Event View, I see data but there is no audio when it reaches that part of the song. 

My mistake, in Event View there is NO data listed.

Tracy, try this:
 
Make a copy of your project (to protect your work as you experiment)
Does the problem still exist with the copy?
Delete half the tracks in your project. Does the problem still occur with the remaining tracks? Try to isolate the tracks that are causing the problem.
Can you "delete hole" from other places in the project timeline? I.e. try to isolate the specific bars that are causing the problem, or show that any track, any bar, has the problem.
Can you create a new, simple project, from scratch, and still show the problem?

Sorry if that wasn't clear, that was a reference to the Akismet spam filter constantly deleting your posts. I kept going into the trash and restoring them, so eventually it figured out you're not a spammer (Finlandia is the name of a vodka).
