Hi Giles, Stacie is absolutely correct -- the proper way to delete a FeedItem is to pass it in a REMOVE operation to FeedItemService.mutate <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/FeedItemService#mutate>. You can also update the FeedItem's attribute values if you prefer that approach, as Stacie mentioned.
Regarding *CustomerSyncService*, I just tried removing a FeedItem on a test account and a non-test account. On the test account, *CustomerSyncService* was not returning any FeedChangeData.removedFeedItems <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerSyncService.FeedChangeData#removedFeedItems>, but on the non-test account, *CustomerSyncService* returned the expected feed item IDs in its FeedChangeData.removedFeedItems <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerSyncService.FeedChangeData#removedFeedItems> . *Stacie* - were you trying this out on a test account, by any chance? One tip: don't forget to specify the feed IDs in your CustomerSyncSelector <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerSyncService.CustomerSyncSelector#feedIds> (I missed that myself the first time!).
