The use all layers check box does not seem to have an effect on this. I have tried linking all the layers as well and checking use all layers and it also does not make a difference. Any other suggestions?

Okay so once I have all the images into the document in separate layers how do I simultaneously erase all instances of a specific color
from all layers? Can’t seem to determine if this is possible and if possible how to do.

You can also use the magic wand, with also "use all layers" checked and then the selection made, CTRL+X to erase.
Sure there is many other ways to do…
The use all layers in the magic wand just means it uses all visible parts of all layers, for example if you have a blue
spot on th etop layer and a transparent region in the top layer with a similar blue showing below on a second layer,
then the wand with use all layers checked will select both blue, with it unchecked it will only select the blue on the
top layer. Of course once you have selected it, then a cut will cut the selected area on the top layer only. I don’t
think there is any way to cut hidden layers, or even the visible bits of non-selected layers in this sort of way.
Do you really need to do this though? Seems to me that if you wish to ‘remove’ a specific colour from each of every
layer it is better to keep the layers as seperate files and use a batch process on each file separately. Is this an
option?
