If you just want to get rid of everything that's black:
  • Ensure image is on a layer (not the Background)
  • Make Black your Foreground Colour
  • Select > Color Range...
  • Play with the Fuzziness slider to refine selection area
  • Click OK when done
  • Press Delete to remove selected pixels
The attached was made with the Fuzziness slider set to 150. Your mileage may vary.
