Ok - there went something wrong in the beginning when you did Path->Stroke to Path instead of "Object to Path" and I guess it´s easier to start over with the "B"ézier-tool than:
Take the Node-tool and select either 1 single node from the white or the black shape - then go Edit->Select All and hit Backspace to delete one shape.
Beginners' Questions using nodes leaves black background?

Hi.
I'm very new to Inkscape so your patience please.
Desktop PC windows 11
When I draw a simple box and add and use nodes it leaves the background black. How do I stop this so it leaves just the outline of the new shape
I don´t understand a word. Can you give a step-by-step process about what you´re doing?

I suggest exploring the tutorials in inkscape's section. Also this : http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Attributes.html
