In the above, I want to remove a label.
Obvious place to look is in the Edit menu, so let's search the Edit menu:

Undo
Redo
Cut -> No. This moves labels that occur later in the track.
Delete -> No. This moves labels that occur later in the track.
Copy
Paste
Duplicate
Remove Audio
Clip Boundaries ? -> No, nothing here.
Labels ->
 -> Edit Labels -> Yes, this can do it, but not what I was looking for
 -> Add Label at Selection
 -> Add Label at Playback Position
 -> Paste Text to New Label
 -> Cut -> No. This cuts audio.
 -> Delete -> No. This deletes audio.
 -> Split Cut -> No. This deletes audio.
 -> Split Delete -> No. This deletes audio.
 -> Silence Audio
 -> Copy
 -> Split -> No.
 -> Join
 -> Detach at Silences
 -> Type to Create Labels (On/Off)
Metadata
Preferences

Search failed, command not found :-(

Also note:
"Edit > Labels > Cut"
Who would guess that this will cut audio and not the label?
