Chopping silence at the beginning of a sample

Is there a quick way to chop silence at the beginning of a sample or any part of a sample? I don't understand how to keep + delete certain parts of a sample when in trim mode so I haven't been doing any precise chopping, only converting to Patched Samples, 10 & YES as settings.

Can anyone tutor me on how to precise chop? How can I just delete what I don't want out of a sample and keep what I want? or how to save a small part of the sample and extract/save without everything else?

I am mighty confused

you can use the Q-links to quickly adjust the start end end points in the TRIM screen

read your manual

I just wrote quite a lot of text describing how to do these things, but I really can't be arsed to post it in light of the effort you have obviously shown.
Never before has a certain phrase been so apt -> R T F M
