If you're simply dealing with a single face, draw a closed outline of any shape. When you complete the closed outline, the lines should change from thick (profile) to thin, denoting an edge that cuts through a face. At this point, you need merely select the area to be removed and hit Delete.
If you've already Push/Pulled the face to some thickness, instead of deleting the outlined area, Push/Pull it through to the opposite face, stopping the extrusion right on that opposite face. You'll end up with a shaped hole going all the way through the material represented by the two faces with faces all around the reveal of the opening forming the walls of the hole
