State-Changed-Why: 
This is a feature. From the man-page:
"-f [...] If the file does not exist, do not display a diagnostic message or modify the
                 exit status to reflect an error.
 ...the -f option only masks attempts to remove non-existent files instead of mask-
     ing a large variety of errors."
