help with remediation

Hi, i'm trying to create detection and remediation scripts for intune to detect the presence of a template in the users word startup folder 

**My detection is as follows**
$path = "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup\ACS Template 2010 2013 2016 (2) (1).dotm"
if (Test-Path $path) {
    Write-Output "File exists: $path"
    exit 1  # Success, file exists
} else {
    Write-Output "File not found: $path"
    exit 0  # Failure, file does not exist


**My remediation**
$path = "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\Startup\ACS Template 2010 2013 2016 (2) (1).dotm" 
if (Test-Path $path) {
    Remove-Item -Path $path -Force


It seems like the detection works as the detection status is "without issues" but the remediation doesn't run. 

Any advice on how to correct this very much welcomed

    If the remediation is showing ‘without issue’ that means it is an exit code 0. Does the file even exist on the device in question m?
