Had you not deleted them, they would appear on the list of "Allowed devices that are not currently connected." There is also a table of Blocked devices thar are not currently connected.
There appears to be a semantic issue with the word "connected". To us ordinary humans, "connected" means attached to the Orbi WiFi and able to communicate. I believe to Netgear, "connected" means "has entered the correct WiFi password and is thus connected. But if it is Blocked, then it cannot communicate (send/receive data packets)." That must be why the top table will sometimes have devices that are Blocked.

Yup. The 3 lists are:
- Allowed or Blocked.devices currently connected
- Allowed devices not currently connected
- Blocked devices not currently connected
The Help Center says:
Access Control Help
You can use Access Control to allow or block computer or electronic devices from accessing your network. When a device is blocked, it would only be able to get an IP address from your router, but it won't be able to communicate with other devices, nor it would be able to connect to the Internet.
