You said you were cutting a square from the library and I thought you wanted to eliminate one of the sides. you do that with the knife tool.
You could also take the image you showed me with the crooked line and cut it away with the knife tool. It will separate the crooked line part away. You may not see it immediately, but when you go to select the pieces you can pull them apart. If you want to send me the file where you have it, I will separate it and send it back to you. It does work.
If you want to try it yourself, select the knife tool, draw a line to the left of the squiggly lines you want to eliminate, then go back to your select tool (the top arrow) and capture the part that you just cut - it will pull apart and you will be left with the three sides like I showed you in the square that I did.
Ok - editing to try to show you differently. I tried to duplicate what you did. The top image is a square from the library and I used the eraser tool on the right side. I duplicated it and put it below and changed the color so you could see the difference. I took the knife blade and ran it along the inside of the square on the right side to remove the erased edge. I selected the entire image, did Object>break path, and then selected the part where the knife cut (so selected from the outside right to the left side of the knife cut ) and pulled it over so you can see. Does that help? It really is easy - just takes some playing around.
