Illustrator - Delete everything that's outside Objects [duplicate]

Question

How do I delete all the unnecessary white shapes, only keep the ones on the logo itself.

Answer 1

Using a Clipping Mask;

Create a circle until your edges and make sure it's on top of all other objects.

Select all and Right click → Make Clipping Mask

I've explained how clipping masks work in this answer.

Answer 2

If your texture is all vectors and you literally mean you want to delete all extra points outside your logo object... I'm a fan of this method:

1. Start with 2 groups. A group with the texture and a group with the logo object.
2. Duplicate the part of the logo object you want to apply the texture to...
   • Duplicate: Cmd + C → Cmd + F
   • This duplicate will essentially become the cookie cutter
3. Object > Expand Appearance (If applicable)
4. Object > Expand
5. Window > Pathfinder flyout menu Make compound shape
6. Window > Pathfinder → Expand (Progress image).
   • The original logo object is somewhere below the two visible groups.
7. With the texture below the cookie cutter, select both and then do Window > Pathfinder → Crop ...and you get this.

You're left with 2 groups. The original logo object and a texture that is cut to the shape of the logo object.

You may also need to do steps 3 and 4 on the texture as well... Like if the texture is made with a brush for instance.
