If they are truly deleted they should return a 404 or 410 https status code and not show up as valid/indexed. They should show up as excluded due to their 404 status.

The reports may be delayed.

If they are returning a 404 status, then they will be excluded over time. The URL removal tool can speed that up, but if they are not 404ing the URLs will eventually return.
