That's because your code is doing what you said, not what you want ;-)

Try this (untested!):

goGraphNew <- GgoPredYBP
for(i in 1:109){
    rmEdges1 <- as.character(edges.to.delete$V1[i])
    rmEdges2 <- as.character(edges.to.delete$V2[i])
    goGraphNew <- removeEdge(rmEdges1, rmEdges2, goGraphNew)
}

Basically, your code wasn't passing in the modified graph object on
each call to removeEdge...
