Best Answer
I saw the movie a long time ago.
Andrew had this list with the robots he was going to look for. Either he deleted the record for the each robot he met that wasn't self-aware, or he marked the robot as "deleted" on his list. Doesn't seem to be specified which one is it in the movie.

Answer 2
He isn't deleting records. He was searching for robots similar to him, and the result for each one is 'Deleted,' which means that the robot he was searching for has been decommissioned and no longer exists, thus has been 'deleted.'
