Eraser tool not working properly for me

I've researched this and can't find an answer. The Eraser does not erase with one swipe, but I have to use multiple swipes. This slows me down when I am drawing/painting. Does anyone know what the fix is?

This tool works the right way in Elements and any other software program I have used. This has got me stumped.

I am using a Wacom Intous 5 tablet, Mac OS High Sierra, and Photoshop 2018 CC.

My pen pressure on my tablet is set to firm and eraser is set to soft.

I've reset preferences through the Terminal on the iMac.

By that, do you mean, which brush do I have the eraser set to? I have had some luck with the mode set to Block. Not my favorite.

My opacity and flow are set to 100%.

And if you are using you wacom pen how the eraser bursh setting are set. If you press hard dose it erase better are the brush edges soft or hard etc. There are many way to control eraseing same with painting many options....
