At least that's how it works when out of edit mode: single-click > Delete.

I had a look at others, and you are correct: all 5 apps I tested (OnlyOffice,
Gnumeric, Calligra Sheets, Google Sheets and MS365) can remove the chart
directly after creation with the Delete key.

So I guess you could suggest not having the edit mode on when finishing the
Wizard? I would be interested to know what is the proportion of people who
usually need to straight away customise the chart further (i.e. needing the
edit mode on) vs people generally happy with the defaults and wanting to just
move the chart around and keep on editing the spreadsheet (i.e. needing the
edit mode off).

All in all, I agree that having the whole chart object selected (so it can be
moved with the keyboard, deleted, copied, exported from context menu...) is
more useful than having the chart area selected (probably the element that is
the _least_ modified in a chart). And Wizards are supposed to give you most of
what you need and reduce the need to further edit anyway.

The "best of both worlds" solution that would make everyone happy would be to
be able to edit a chart without needing to enter an edit mode: bug 82535. Which
would also result in having the undo-redo stacks merged as one: bug 62595.
