How long does a removal request take
I am trying to close our account and have put in a removal request. How long does it take to remove the inventory. It has been almost a week.

You'll need to wait. A week is nothing.
In my experience, 1-3 weeks is pretty typical, but 1-2 months is not unusual. Longest I've had took 7 months; hopefully you won't run into that long of a wait; but if a lot of books, I suspect it will be September or later before everything is done.

Amazon returns in batches and that can take weeks and months.

Good Evening @Seller_ranb8s8h0q5g9,
It looks like you were able to get some support from our seasoned sellers here on the forums about the length of time for a removal order request to process and get the inventory returned.
If any of their replies helped you, feel free to mark it as “Most Helpful reply” using the 3 dots in the corner of their post. This helps other sellers find the answer to your question at the top of the post just in case they find themselves in a similar situation.
Additionally per the removal orders help page: "Note: It can take 90 days or more for a removal order to process and the shipment to leave the fulfillment center. Once the carrier has picked up your removed inventory, they’ll contact your designated recipient to arrange delivery. If they can’t arrange delivery, Amazon will contact you to help resolve the issue."
Please let us know if we can further assist you or you may always contact Selling Partner Support with inquiries at anytime. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon
