What happens when you do this but it still doesn't remove the subtotals? How am I creating the initial grouping wrong that it won't undo the subtotals when removing the groupings this way?

  Select the whole sheet with the upper left corner cell, then click 'subtotal'. Click 'OK' if you get a warning box then you should see the Subtotal menu with 'remove all'.
