On this very problem, you'll notice that the export dialog has a
"Selection" checkbox in the lower left part.

To export a selected part of a drawing to some third-party format, which
is what you're looking for, do:

1. Select the drawing (part) you're willing to export. If you want the
whole drawing, then just Edit > Select all (Ctrl + A)

2. Open the Export dialog and tick the Selection checkbox.

And you're done! Your new image is now without any white space clutter.

Note: the "Selection" checkbox doesn't retain its state. You'll have to
check it again when exporting another drawing.

HTH,
