I am trying to make heading-letter but no matter what can't remove margins from header and footer.
Changing margins to 0
Returning error (even by clicking ignore margins in image 1 still exist)
Any idea how to remove those margins in print for good?

Please check if the header and footer have been set, if they are set, set the distance from the header and footer to the page margin to 0.
In general, the printer preset margins will leave room.
Setting the margin as zero in word does not mean that the margin of the printer is physical zero.
2That's probably a limitation of your printer, it simply might not be able to print without borders
1For left and right, you do not want to change the margins, but the indents. Margins are a section property while indents are paragraph level formatting. You may have noticed that when you changed the margin in your header, it changed in the body as well. Change the left and right indent settings in your header and footer styles. You would want negative indents to undo the margins set for the section.
For example, my letterhead has a left margin of 1.58" and a right margin of 1.25" so I would set the paragraph indents to -1.58" and-1.25" to go from page edge to page edge.
You can also insert a textbox in a header or footer that goes outside any of the margins. It can even extend past the edge of the page!
One thing you should be aware of is that many printers will not print to the edge of paper. There is nothing that Word can do about that. This is especially true of the top and bottom edge. The printer manufacturer reserves that space for paper handling.
