Set your foreground color to black and background color to white, if you haven't already done so.

Always click on the background area, not on your subject.

Make sure you have a tolerance level of 0 so that it selects only what you want to remove from your image.
Go to Select -> Modify -> Contract by 2 pixels (this will ensure your selection is accurate).
Once you've drawn your selection, it's time to make sure it's accurate. You can do this by going under Select -> Modify -> Contract by 2 pixels (this will ensure your selection is accurate).
If you have trouble selecting the subject with this method, try using another tool like the Lasso tool or Pen tool instead.
Go to Select -> Inverse (to select the subject instead of the background).
Go to Select -> Inverse (to select the subject instead of the background).
Selecting a layer, then going to Select -> Inverse will reverse your selection, so that it selects everything except what was previously selected.
Delete the selection by hitting Ctrl+D or going to Select -> Deselect.
Once you have made your selection, you can delete it by hitting Ctrl+D or going to Select -> Deselect. You can also click on the background to deselect it.
