Hi, It is an expected behavior that once you remove the criterion, you would still be able to retrieve this when using the AdGroupCriterionService.get() <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/AdGroupCriterionService#get>. It would just appear with a Status <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/AdGroupCriterionService.BiddableAdGroupCriterion#userstatus> of *REMOVED*. By default, when using the get() method, it would return all criteria even the removed ones. If you wish to see only the ENABLED criterion, you would need to specify the Status to *ENABLED*.
Sanjay - The explanation in the forum you provided is correct. To completely remove the entity, you should remove all entities nested underneath it.
