Learners sometimes say *'erase off'* (e.g. *'erase off the board'*). In most cases, just say *'erase the board'*. Another confusion is between *erase* and *delete*: *delete* is more common in everyday computer use (e.g. *delete a file*), but *erase* is fine, especially for completely removing data from a disk or drive.
