Removal of whitespace in icons so that they have no color

I have a lot of icons SVG vector that I work with. Many of them have white or white zones like this one.

When I try to make white so its transparent and shows the background color, it does not work as I would like. I can't get the filling go away by simply clicking on 'None' option. I tried to use the compound path without success. I don't know if there is a simple way to do this? I thought when I used the trace of the image and expand it that it would make the white just a transparent shape but its fill with white every time. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

It's something that you have traced image? Use the box 'ignore the whites' before developing:
