I've set up a guided action to 'Search & Remove Text'. The specific text is identified but I now wish for it all to be deleted. The text is surrounded by red boxes.

I don't know how to proceed any further after running the command and the text highlighted in such a manner.

I'm not after redacting the text. I wish for it to be deleted from the document.

That is redacting. If you mean delete it so that the text around it re-flows and fills in the empty space, that's not possible. PDF files were not meant to be edited in such an extensive way.
