Remove deletes symbols, not contexts. The string "Global`" refers to the Global` context and most definitely isn't a symbol. So, the error message correctly informs you it cannot find a symbol with name "Global`".

I am guessing you are trying to remove all symbols from the Global` context. If so, should have typed Remove["Global`*"] instead of what you did type.
