I don't think that an Action can delete, it can only add or edit.
Yes, An Automation can delete, but when I tried to use one for a real client, the deletions were painfully slow to run, so I abandoned that step in the Automation and did the delete with the API Purge as that was instant. We will see if delete is any different when it goes into GA (general Availability) release.
In my case I was deleting hundreds or thousands of records and the automation was just too slow. I think it deleted them one by one on some slow paced basis as opposed to more of a mass delete.
