How to remove view on touch?

I have a button hooked up in the storyboard to a method onButtonPress. In that method I call [pressedButton removeFromSuperview] but the view is not removed. I have even tried [_scrollView setNeedsDisplay]; and [_scrollView setNeedsLayout]; with no luck. I am assuming this is a restriction on being able to remove the button I have pressed. Is there a way I can signal to the view controller to call a method in the future to remove this button?

Nevermind, actually. I was making a silly mistake.

The view I was pressing is part of a custom table I implemented to avoid the tableview in the scrollview. What I was doing was removing all the table cells from the table then re-adding them with the exception of the one that was clicked. Except right before I looped through the array which held the views and called [view removeFromSuperview], I removed the view I pressed from that array. Therefore, it was never calling that method. So I was doing 

[_taskViewCells removeObject:t];
for (id taskViewCell in _taskViewsCells) {
    [taskViewCell removeFromSuperview];
    // Remove all the task views
}

Pretty silly...

you can just hide it,

- (IBAction)celebritiesButtonPressed:(id)sender {
  self.button.alpha = 0;
  //[self.peopleButton removeFromSuperview]; //as you intend
}
