HOT TIP: While this process is very good, it is not 'magic'. Never rely on being able to completely fix a bad recording later in editing - THIS IS RARELY POSSIBLE. Always get the best possible conditions during recording so you only have to do minor tweaks later.
You are likely to still have some noise left over in your final output. If you try to remove it all, it can make your recording sound "bubbly", or like you are underwater. Removing background noise is always about how much good audio you will sacrifice to remove the bad audio!
Also, any effects you apply in the Waveform editor (as opposed to the Multitrack editor) is "destructive" editing. Once you apply it and save the file, it affects your ORIGINAL file and you cannot go back. If you are unsure, make a 'safe' copy of your file and keep it stored away from your editing file, just in case!
