A fool proof way of getting rid of a background is using a mask. There is an icon on your standard left hand toolbar. Start with a rough selection, then click on the mask. If you use the default color you will see a semi-transparent white mask over what you did not select. You can then paint with either white or black to add to or subtract from the mask. By reclicking on the mask button, you will see your selection. Now if you copy and then click on "New Image" and select the following: Transparent for "Canvas Color" and "Active Image" for your image size, you will get a transparent canvas exactly the same size as the image you were just editing and you already have a transparent background, you do not need then to delete anything.
Every day's a new day, "draw" on what you've learned.
