It is easy, New to Gimp ? Check with the Gimp documentation first https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-tool-eraser.html ( https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/nl/gimp-tool-eraser.html )
Sometimes a picture helps
The erase tool shows white because (1) the background colour is set to white (2) the layer has no transparency, an alpha channel. Add one with Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha channel
The erase then shows a checker pattern which is a way of denoting transparency.
If you add a new transparent layer on top Layer -> New Layer and make sure the Fill With is set to Transparency, then you can paint and erase without problem.
Thank you, I try.
