Hello all, I have been using Photoshop for some years accross multiple devices but am currently frustrated due to my layer masks not removing everything outside the canvas. I attached some images before showing how the rest of the image appears when the layer mask is resized. Any help would be extremely appreciated.

You can apply the layer mask before cropping or fill the missed area of the mask with black.

Don’t start with »Reveal All«-Layer Masks, but with »Hide All«- or »Reveal Selection«-ones.

Look at the Layers panel in both of your images.

In the first image, you have a cropped picture with the mask
In the second image, the cropped picture is on a hidden layer and the mask that was created is being used on a different image.

If you want to use the cropped image, drag the mask back to that layer and unhide it. If you want to have a mask on the larger picture, select it and create a new mask.
