No, it's not deleted for me. I had the same problem as you. I replied twice, immediately deleted one, then had people responding to both and telling me that I replied twice.
It's really scary that deleting comments doesn't work 100% of the time. And it's ironic, given the topic of this discussion is privacy. Not being able to guarantee that your comments can be deleted 100% is a huge privacy concern. It might even be illegal in Europe, but idk.
The deleted comments don't get deleted too tho. The last edit is saved on the server anyways, so if you really want to delete something, edit it first and then delete it.
Since then, I have been editing my comments several times to different variants of the word "Deleted". Sometimes, I do brackets, sometimes I do Italics.
