What version of photoshop version of windows are you using?

Can you provide a screenshot of the Gradient Tool settings in the tool options bar?

Please watch this video and tell us what is different on your side https://youtu.be/mzxLy5HegY8

If still things does not work, the only thing I can suggest you is to try with preference reset https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Hi, Rachel, in order to help you, we need to get more info. 

Are you working on a layer? Is it transparent? A screenshot of the entire interface, showing also your layers panel could help us help you.

Are you well on Ps 23.5.1?

I have noticed recently that the gradient is not completely transparent anymore, I have to go back and use the eraser or mask tool to clean up where it is supposed to be transparent.

Which version of Photoshop @HectorHMunro ?

Here is screenshot of white to transparent gradient in latest 24.0 version of Ps, everything works as expected.

I cannot replicate the issue.

If you are using the gradient on a background layer, it will not be transparent. 

With the Gradient tool active, you could try right clicking on the icon in the Options bar and reset tool.
