Despite having removed files, and added the new device, I still

Did you do it in that order? How about attempting to remove files
after adding the new device.
As Guus said, removing a snapshot is more likely to help than
removing files.
If you haven't already done so, I'd also suggest posting this to the
linux-btrfs mailing list (see
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_mailing_list)
Yes. I've tried removing files after adding the device. Unfortunately,
there are no snapshots. I could try removing subvolumes. I'll try the
btrfs list.
Thanks,
Jameson
