On my linux build the shortcut is ctrl-del to delete a measure, I'm am not sure what the windows shortcut is. You probably want the pull-down menu to have the ctrl-del selection to delete a measure. Hopefully that helps you out, and someone more competent than me can chime in too.

edit: The delete function, afaik, just deletes everything else (like lyrics, notes etc.) but the measure.

Yes. Confirm it work.
So, I close this bug, and will investigate shortcut issue.

So for me problem was that this menu was not available in context menu and also in Measure -> submenu.
I've expected this option should be there and then shortcut didn't work for me.

So Edit > Delete Selected Measures works.

Unsurprisingly there have been several changes in the way Musescore works since this thread was started and last updated 13 years(!) ago. One of the things that have changed is that removing or deleting measures is now no longer done from the Edit menu.

How to delete measures if you are using MuseScore version 3.6.2 is described in the "Basics" section of the Handbook here https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/measure-operations#delete

If you are using the latest version 4.0.1 the operation is described here https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/adding-and-removing-measures#delete
