Just guesses
1. Are you exporting to a format that supports transparency (alpha-channel) ? Usually png format Exporting to jpeg loses transparency.
2. Some image viewers do not support the alpha-channel and even a png will show with transparency as white.
The eraser tool takes whatever brush is currently active. A tiny brush and you might not see anything. Make sure you use a suitable sized solid brush.

In attempting to export a file with a transparency background I get getting the file with a white alpha channel background that I can't delete or clear. Is there any way I can export just the image with a transparent background without the white?
