Deletion with upsert is not working

[RitikBanger]

 upsert {
      query {
        q(func: uid("0x9c49")) @recurse  {
          uid
          b as branches
          c as child_groups
        }
      }

      mutation {
        delete {
          uid(b) * * .
          uid(c) * * .
        }
      }
    }

This query does not seem to delete the node and child nodes, though I am not able to view the node data, but the node is still there with its uid.

I want to delete all these child nodes along with the node whose uid I provide.

I can still query these nodes using the ‘query’ I shared earlier to view their data which shows that the node is not actually deleted.
