I'm puzzled here because I run a Macbook Pro for Audacity QA testing.

grab the little triangle handles and drag left or right (dragging the circle moves the point label)

Just be aware that it's almost impossible to turn a region label back into a point label.

There is no " Delete Project " command or functionality in Audacity (I've always thought there should be - I think I may write a proposal for one) You will need to use Windows Explorer to the .aup file and the related project data file: See this page in the Audacity Manual about the struct...
