Cubase 15 Pro Processing - Silence on a track

I am trying to clean up tracks that had open mics but no direct audio. I highlight a range and select processing/silence. 90% of the track shows wave file flatlined to silence however about 10% of the track, usually near the end of the highlight range still shows wave activity. How do I fix or work-around this? Repeating the process does not change the display or eliminate the audio. I am having to cut the data out.
