How can I remove a symbol on a photo using MS Paint?

By saying "Microsoft 7 Paint" do you mean Windows 7 Paint? If so, once you exit from Paint whatever edits/changes you make are saved and you can't go back to edit it out.
However, if you are using Windows 7 you can use Windows Photo Gallery and use the "Retouch" tool to hide the symbol. Here is an easy to follow Youtube video to show you how it's done:
Retouching Photos with Windows Photo Gallery
Make a copy beforehand to be on the safe side
Good luck
You're welcome Apadana, happy to have helped.
Thank you so much for explaining this to me! I guess I'm stuck with that shape on that person's face but that's all right because I have another photo that person.
Appreciate your help and I will check out Photo Gallery

I'm sorry I should have said how can you remove a "shape" that I put on a face? The shape is one that is included in Paint. I want to take the shape off of the person's face so it can appear.
Thank you
You could erase the symbol although this will leave a white patch. To avoid this you must use a sophisticated tool such as PhotoShop.
