Can't delete budget

    Public Function RemoveBudget(ByVal budget As Budget) As Budget

        Dim Locations As New Dictionary(Of Int64, Location)

        Dim service As BudgetService = CType(User.GetService(AdWordsService.v201607.BudgetService), BudgetService)

        Dim operation As BudgetOperation = New BudgetOperation()

        budget.status = BudgetBudgetStatus.REMOVED

        operation.operand = budget

        operation.operator = [Operator].REMOVE

        Dim operations(0) As BudgetOperation

        operations(0) = operation

        Try

            service.mutate(operations)

        Catch e As Exception

            Throw New System.ApplicationException("Failed to get location for ad.", e)

        End Try

        Return Nothing

    End Function

the budget object passed to this function is returned from the BudgetService via a get.  The code runs smoothly without an error, yet my next Get request finds the same budget with same Id like my Remove operation was just ignored.
