I had a hard time finding out what it is you wanted exactly.

Is it this part of white you want to be removed?

 

[Variation069]

It is! I want to remove all the white part of the wheel one and also the background of it which is the anchor also remove the part where the color white of the wheel is.

To be on the save side; no white background and ALL white parts removed?

Sweet! Thanks for the help Mr. Eggy! But I want to learn how you erase it in a clean way. is it okay if you will teach me? again, thank you very much!

In this case I used the 'magic Eraser Tool'.

This method is best used when there's a crisp separation between the color to remove and the other colors.

If you want to remove only a part tick Contiguous.

If you want to remove all that specific color untick Contiguous.

Set the tolerance somewhere between 32 and 64.

i tried your advice but still in pixelated quality

 

[Eggy]

Can you post an example of it with the used settings?

I wanted to point out that there is another approach to consider that might bypass the pixelation (which might be as simple as anti-alias not being turned on)

Since you have provided the PSD file, here is an approach that you can take

- Turn off the Final 2 Layer and turn on and expand the Raw 2 group
- Turn the Background Layer into a Regular Layer and turn off its visibility
- On the compass Layer, convert the Layers effects to Layers by right click int he Layer panel panel on the Layers effect icon and choose "Create Layers"
- One of the Layers created is the "Compass's Outer Stroke". Highlight this Layer and turn the transparency into a Layer Mask with Layer > Layer Mask > From Transparency
- With that mask selected, use Cmd + I (Ctrl + I for PCs) to invert the mask
- Drag that mask down to the Anchor Layer
- Turn off visibility of Compass's Outer Stroke Layer

I think this achieves your objective. No selections required as the masking was achieved with already existing information from the stroke of the Layer Effects

Hope this alternate approach is worth considering
