slection confusion.

[adeee]

guys some times i confused how to delete the selected area.like in this photo. i want to delete the section on circle.when i press delete it ask me to delete the layer not the circle.now how i can do this?

 

[Hoogle]

press control and delete or alt and delete depending what your foreground colours are

It appears from your screenshot you have a blank layer selected, so there isn't anything to delete on that layer.

 

[iDad]

if the layer is a shape layer it will need to be rasterized first

Like iDad said you need to rasterize first... If however, you want to keep the shape layer in tact, use the pen tool to make the selection (set it to Subtract from path area).
