Now, you will have the logo without background. The checkerboard pattern denoted transparency. What is your ultimate goal?

*Thank you, this worked great. I was trying to create my logo without a
background so that I can overlay my logo on an image:*
Thank You,

Activate the Magic Wand tool in the Editor.
Look on the tool's option bar.

The original poster was working with a jpeg file which does not have any layers. Forget step #2 - it won't do anything. Just do steps 1, 3, & 4, then save as a PNG file.

Followup to hatstead's reply:
You must save the result in a file type that supports transparency. PSD, GIF, PNG, TIFF, EPS support transparency. JPG, BMP do not; If you were to save it as JPG or BMP you would end up with white background again.

FYI, you might consider installing the free add-on KillWhite that does just that: removes white in a picture. This can work well for complex pictures where it might be difficult to select the white using the PSE tools. It is installed in the PSE filters folder.
As with the built-in PSE filters, you can apply it to just a selected area of the picture.
Since the white is replaced with transparency, you would have to apply the filter either to a duplicate of the Background layer or else a renamed Background layer.
For demonstration purposes, here I ran KillWhite and put the result over a color background.

Actually there are many way to remove the white background from a JPEG images but Clipping Path is the best way.
