‘player.removespell’ console command not working

I'm trying to delete the "highborn" powers from a High Elf character (don't ask why, it's for… reasons). I can delete the active 50 point magicka boost with:player.removespell 00105f16 but when I try to delete the regeneration power with: player.removespell 000e40c8, the console tells me: "Spell 'Highborn' not found in player". Furthermore, I can't delete any spells like flames or healing. I just get "Spell 'whatever' not found in player". What's my problem?
