Most probably once when you chose to delete some blocks, a dialog box came up saying something like "Are you really sure to delete these blocks?". Also there was a check box on the bottom like this "Don't allow dialog boxes to appear anymore" or similar. It seems to be, you checked that checkbox. Now, whenever you hit the delete key, it does nothing. The dialog box no longer shows up.
To get that dialog box back again, type chrome://settings/ in the browser's URL box and get then press "reset settings". And next time you get that option again, do not check that checkbox...
