hmmm woops
I just retested to make sure I didn't have a typo or something.
and realized the first time round i never actually tested to make sure i could delete an invalid item. It works we just had the if/else wrong way around.

Code:
if grep -q "${1}${2}" $dbfile
then
    #delete the line
else
    echo "cannot delete:"
fi
