Later the Dwemer created a New God (Brass Tower) and the Chimer wanted to destroy it and the Dwemer refused. And then they started battling eachother again. The Chimer got into the Red mountain. And took the 3 dwemer tools and did something with them so the Dwemer all turned into ash. Azura punished them for it and turned them into the Dark elf. So the Dark elfs wiped out the Dwemer. True story, it's actully in a book in the Dragonborn DLC. It's called Red mountain something. Wrong.

First, the Chimer and Dwemer were allies against the Nords. They turned on each other when Voryn Dagoth found out that they have the Heart of Lorkhan in Red Mountain. Anyways, it wasn't the Tribunals actions on that day which made the Dwemer disappear. It also weren't the Dunmer which made the Dwemer disappear.

Kagrenac, the highest tonal architect of the Dwemer, tried to create out of the Dwemer souls a new god to reverse the Subgradients. This new god was called Anumidium, and Kagrenac wanted to fuse all Dwemer souls together into a single Oversoul and make this Oversoul become Anumidium's skin, which he wanted to accomplish by using the divine tones which the Heart of Lorkhan creates when it's hit by Keening and Sunder. He tried to do this some minutes before Vehk, Ayem, Seht, Voryn Dagoth and Nerevar stormed Red Mountain. It seems that he failed, or that his theory was incorrect. It's also possible that he couldn't make Anumidium an actual god because not all Dwemer souls were merged into the new Oversoul (evidence being that Yagrum Bagarn still lives during 3E 427). Is that specifically mentioned ingame also? And not just Michael Kirkbrid's opinion from his late or post Bethesda day? It won't matter what MK says, he's not on the payroll anymore which means there's no guarantee that theory will be used in any future TES installments. We may yet get surprised by what Beth will do with the Dwemer.
