Why hasn’t self assessment updated tax code

Wonder if any accountants or finance experts can help?
My tax code allows for some work expenses but I want these off the code.
I do a self assessment and put my work expenses as zero/claimed nothing when I submitted it in January. Accountant said that would take the expenses off my code but it hasn’t?
Should a self assessment not automatically update your tax code?

Does anyone have any idea why?
I still have the expenses but they are very small and I don’t want to claim them as monitoring them stresses me out so much,
thanks so much. I’ve asked my accountant to take them off but they haven’t

If you log into your personal tax account with HMRC online you should be able to notify them to remove the expenses and issue a new code,

Apparently they won’t remove them if I still have them? Is it possible to remove them just because I don’t want to claim?
