[Gimp-user] How do I shrink my canvas to capture the image on it?

[laredotornado <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi,

I'm using Gimp 2.8.18 on Mac Sierra.  I opened an image, erased a few things,
and now want to shrink the canvas to only capture the image.  I tried "Image" ->
"AutoCrop Image" and "Image" -> "Fit Canvas to Image" from the menu, but neither
of them did anything.  My image remains as you see it in my screen shot.  This
is a PNG image, so not sure if that affects thinngs . How do I eliminate all the
unnecessary space around my image and keep only the image itself?
