I am having trouble deleting the area of the white circle where it overlaps the black. I have been able to do it a few time accidentally but I cannot figure out to do it purposefully. I have tried slice, knife, divide, intersect, exclude and none seem to be working when I select all 3 shapes or 2. Please help been trying to figure this out for hours
You could try the Shape Builder tool in erase mode (with the Alt key depressed).
Emma,
What Ton said, but you need to make sure that the black path is also selected/selectable.

Thank you! That worked! Did not realize this was a thing. Very new to illustrator.
