I assume that you will get lots of answers on this but:

RInforeplacing the first element of t with Sequence[] multiple times is
the same as doing it once.  Try replacing t[[j]].

ekt

t = {1, 2, 3}; j = 0;

While[++j < 4, t[[j]] = Sequence[]; Print[t]]



{2,3}

{3}

{}
Information[t]

Global`t

t={Sequence[],Sequence[],Sequence[]}
