Hi, I'm new at Illustrator but have been playing for some days with it so I feel comfort using it. Although latley I have had one problem which I'm unable to fix. I have this circle here and everytime I decide to "erase" it becomes like a brush.

 

This is what I'm talking about:

 

Does anyone have any idea why and how can I fix this please? Also I'm unable to change brush color...

Thanks for your time.

How do you expect the result to look like?

 

The eraser works like mill-cutting a shape.

Hi. If "erase it" means remove it, select it and press Delete or Backspace. You'll need to select it before.
