I'll bite, that sounds like a correction to me.

Maybe in the broadest sense, but it's certainly not more accurate to say that. If I hold a fiction writing competition, and you submit a piece of non-fiction that I throw in a paper shredder, I think most would agree that I would be misleading if I said I "corrected" your writing. "Deleted" would be a better description, regardless of whether the same work had been submitted elsewhere before.
