That’s correct, no matter how many cards are removed (up to 51 and assumning that it is not known which cards are removed) the probability of the picking a heart will be 1/4. Let’s see you prove it for where 32 cards are removed.
(Hint- there are 125,994,627,894,135 different ways that 32 cards can be chosen from a deck of 52 where order doesn’t make a difference. Hope this helps!)
