Blighty picked up on the selection mode, but other things to look out for when things like that happen.
First thing I see (or do not see) are those crawling ants. The yellow dotted line is the layer boundary. Check in View -> Show Selection (Ctrl-T toggles on/off) that it is on. If nothing shows after using say fuzzy select then that is a problem.
The next one is, your image does not have an alpha channel. The bold name in the layer dialogue gives that away. Even with a selection delete will do nothing except replace the selection with the BackGround colour, White.
Add an Alpha, channel Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel Choose fuzzy select tool. Click in the canvas to make a selection. Hit the delete key.

Quote:I figured it out!!!! The keyboard shortcut was changed somehow to delete the layer instead of clearing the selection.
