    Depending on how much time you want to put into it (30 seconds or 10 minutes), you can either use the magic wand, play around with its tolerance levels and select the black area, and then delete it.
    Alternatively, you can use the magnetic lasso tool to select the black area(s), and then delete them.

    Yeah, just use the magnetic wand to quick select the black and delete it. Also, if you want it transparent, be sure to delete the background layer and save as a PNG.
