As was told you already at least twice in this thread (maybe three
times, I didn't recheck the whole thread), you should put the menu
command inside the :execute

let delmatches = ':g/<C-R>//d C<CR>'
exe 'an 98.2 &Edit.Delete\ &Matches' delmatches

This way, the delmatches variables will be evaluated when the menu is
defined, and the <C-R> stored by the :anoremenu command as an actual
Ctrl-R character. The way you did it (quoted above), the delmatches
variable would be evaluated when invoking the menu, with the result that
you search for "less-than, C, dash, r, greater-than" and if found, do
(IIUC) an additional search for "d space C". The textual search finds no
match, and you get an error.

Regards,
Tony.
