Welcome!

A CIRCLE is a basic entity which is defined by center and radius.
When a CIRCLE is trimmed, it becomes a different entity, an ARC, which has additionally a starting and ending angle.
This will work one time, but can be tricky, because trimming depends on the locations of clicking.
Trimming the ARC again will probably remove the main part of it.

What you need is Devide, find it also in the Modify menu or tool bar. This allows to split the ARC or CIRCLE into multiple entities. Then simply select the unwanted parts and delete them.
