Unable to remove records from 'Notifications' system table from a canvas app

It should be a pretty basic concept, just do this:
Remove( Notifications, LookUp(Notifications As N, N.Notification = GUID("...")))
 
Which I am, and it returns as successful in the monitor, but the record isn't deleted.
Any ideas why this could be happening?

    Hi
     
    So, I would do this.
     
    1. I would run this, but, I would not use an Alias (not sure why you did that)
    2. Are you getting a Delegation warning? Dont see one but checking
    -- if you are that could be the reason
     
    3. I would make sure you have the value in the GUID ... in a variable or something as a text OR just add a text/label and write the string value there. I would specifically do something like
    (Label) Default value = --insertstring-- to make sure that there are no spaces between the first -- and last -- because that would be the issue
     
    4. I would take that GUID (that you did in step 3) in the text box. Add another button. In there just do the LookUp, and see if it returns a value.
    Set(_testRecord, LookUp(Notifications, GUID = GUIDValue) see if you get a row if you do NOT, then the GUIDS are not correct and thats why it doesnt work
     
    So the point being, grab the GUID you think you are using in the Remove
    Use that in a random 1 off LookUp
    Verify you get Data
    If not... then thats your issue
