Ah, good call.

This is my initialization code

function Auras:OnInitialize()
 
    local defaults = SSA.defaults;
    local about_panel = LibStub:GetLibrary("LibAboutPanel", true)
 
    if about_panel then
        self.optionsFrame = about_panel.new(nil, "ShamanAuras")
    end
    
    self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("SSA_db",defaults)
    self:SetupOptions()
    
    
end

The function that handles removing an item from the table is located in a different file

local SSA, Auras, L, LSM = unpack(select(2,...))
 
local function ConstructAuraList()
    ...
    --- this is the button that runs the deletion
    removeAura = {
        order = 4,
        type = "execute",
        name = "Remove",
        func = function()
            tremove(Auras.db.char.auras[spec].groups[grp],j)
        end,
        width = "half",
    }
    ...
end

It's strange, though. Any changes go through no problem, but deleting part of a table doesn't.
