I just started editing in the newest Photoshop. Usually, when I used the fast selection tool and clicked delete, my background would be transparent. When I do it now, I get this pop-up (see picture, my photoshop is Dutch.. Sorry for that) and I just can't find a way to find a solution to this.. Can anyone help me with this?

PS. I am a beginner

Click the padlock icon on your Background Layer to make it a floating layer (Layer 0) so that you can delete to transparency.
