I'm a bit stuck, I have my illustrator file with a design for my logo and I need to remove a part of the shape.

For example, there is a square with a smaller square inside it but the smaller square needs to be removed so there is a hole in the bigger square that the background can penetrate through so it can be exported with transparency and look normal.

The shapebuilder tool can be used for this purpose.

Select the tool and press Alt to remove a shape.

Select both squares, go to 'Window → Pathfinder' and click the 'Minus Front' (second) button. Also a video about this.
