I am unable to remove the white spaces at the right and left of the screen

October 24, 2022

I am trying to remove the white spaces at the sides and make the image and text cover the entire screen. I have tried changing the flex basis values and adding the width in percentages but it is not working. If I add the width in pixel units then the image covers the space in between but the white spaces on the sides do not go away.

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;

  width: 100%;
