Hello Divapopu,
When you downloaded WordPress, did you unzip a .zip file to host it on a server? (Via FileZilla for example).
Go to the folder wp-content > themes.
From there, you have 3 folders, one of which is the theme you are using.
If you are using the twentyeleven theme, open the folder and inside there is a file called footer.php.
Open it with a text editor such as Notepad++ or Windows Notepad.
Then, delete this line:
If you still don't understand anything, go here:

Copy all the code found at the link above and paste it into your Notepad after making sure to delete everything before pasting the whole thing.
If you still can't get it, you need to review your knowledge...

I managed to find everything you said except that I can't delete, why?
Thank you
Hello,
Well, actually, with WordPress 4.7 and the Twenty Seventeen theme, it's your knowledge that needs to be reviewed, since you no longer need to modify the footer.php file to remove the "Proudly powered by WordPress" notice, but rather the /themes/twentyseventeen/template-parts/footer/site-info.php file.
Download this site-info.php file and place the text you want (either plain text or, better yet, text with HTML code for better formatting) between the <div class="site-info"> and </div><!-- .site-info --> tags.
Then upload the site-info.php file back to its original location via FTP and that's it!
Do not touch the footer.php file (with the configuration specified above (WP4.7 - Default theme 2017)
