Hi I am using CC Photoshop and when using a layer mask I try to delete a section but it now leaves 10-20% of the image and will not mask out 100% of the image. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong as this previously would delete the whole image as it should? Hope someone can help? Regards Pete

Can you post a screen shot? How are you making your selection? Could your selection not be 100% selected?

It would help to show your entire screen. So you're saying that you're using a brush to delete the area in the mask? If so, is the brush's blend mode set to normal? Is the brush's opacity and flow set to 100%? Is the brush's color set for pure black RGB 0,0,0?
