Body contains white spaces after setting margin to 0 (Vanilla HTML And CSS)

I am trying to make a hero image with no white spaces on the sides. For some reason I am still getting them even after inspecting the element and finding out that it was my body’s margin, and setting that to 0

.body {
    font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
.navigation {
    margin: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 100vw;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: light;
}

.navigation-inner {
  background: #eaeae4;
  border-radius: 5px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.navigation-inner {
  font-size: 28px;
  display: flex;
}

.notification-round {
  background: rgba(240,0,0,.6);
  color: white;
  padding: 0 8px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  font-size: 16px;
  margin-left: 3px;
}

.navigation-link {
  padding: 15px 20px 10px 20px;
  display: inline-block;
  color: rgba(0,0,0,.7);
  transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
  border-bottom: 4px solid transparent;
}

.navigation-link:hover {
  background: rgba(50,50,0,.1);
  border-bottom-color: #8acc84;
}

.navigation-link > i {
  padding-right: 8px;
}

/*HERO*/

#home {
    background-size:
}

.hero-image {
    background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)), url("../images/furniture.jpg");
    height: 400px;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    position: relative;
}
.hero-text {
    text-align: center;
    position: absolute;
    top: 25%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    color: white;
  }
.hero-text h1 {
    font-size: 50px;
}

    You should set the root also, try to add this:

    *{
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

    The issue is that you are using a class selector in your css:

    .body

    when you should be using an element selector:

    body

    Remove the dot from your css and it should work.
