It looks like a screenshot from a 3D software: Do you need the background removed on this image or in the subsequent render?
In any case, you can use my prefered method which is the pen tool, to draw around the shapes with a vector path, vector path which will be turned into a selection, that will be used to either cut the background, or better still, mask the layer.
Other stuff you can try include see if the "subject" feature in the "select" menu will work (It can be a hit and miss due to the little crystals on the floor), the direct selection tool (same caveat), or painting on a mask to hide those parts of the layer.
Using this or that one will depends on your level of patience, your level of skills in Photoshop and if you are willing to take the time to try and test different methods.
Given the image you got here, I reckon my prefered method will be the best, if not the quickest. So it depends on the expected result (very neat is required, or you can do away with a bit of the background remaining)
second best method would be painting on a mask but I would advise doing it if you got a graphic tablet as it's a bit tedious drawing with a mouse)
See the tutorials below
As always, you will see that nobody really advises from cutting part of a layer, but mask it instead. That is because, in Photoshop it's better to work in what we call a "non-destructive" way. With a mask you can still go back and correct something, if you cut and made a mistake, you're doomed.

Doing any meaningfull work with a dodgy mouse in Photoshop will be hard as it relies on a minimum of precision. Good luck anyway!

If you mean just the edges lines in the shapes, that will be some hard work, (and you still can do it with the pen tool), You can use one of the methods used in the last link I shared (colour range)
or use the magic wand, but the lines are so thin, it won't be a doodle

i think i made it

regarding your mouse. Get a better mouse or even better, a cheap graphic tablet (the latter if you plan to do any meanful work with Photoshop)
You already invested money in buying the subscription, and having a faulty mouse will be like having a 15 years old computer

I couldn't tell, because
- I don't know all of them, and
- There are probably hundreds on the market
Any one that has a decent amount of pressure control (Think at least 2048 levels) will be good. For the rest, it depends on your budget

You could have used Photoshop to do the same instead of Canva!

yes i used photoshop
is that it was hard to me to manage the details with my mouse 😭
mellow adder
But you told me you wanted to remove it. If what you got here what what you needed, you could have used a threshold command (only pure black and white) and some minor drawing
Image>adjustment>threshold and play with the slider

well i use in selection and one option in photoshop and with that selection i deleted the bacground and painted it in photoshop
mellow adder
That doesn't select anything though, it just transforms your image in lines

The important thing when you watch a tutorial is that you understand the underlying principles. That way, you know the feature exist and you can understand how to use it in other situations. If a tutorial doesn't answer the "why" but just the "how", that's not a good tutorial.
