You should filter on the field Status: status "removed" means that the campaign/group/ad/keyword/etc. is removed.
Background: One would think that when deleting a campaign after spending 1000 Euro on it, Google forgets about the money. But... too bad, you still owe Google the money. Now, to prevent people complaining that the totals don't match, the campaign is not actually deleted. It just gets the status "removed" and becomes read-only. In the UI you can also toggle that filter. The difference is, in the UI the (first-time) default is just "active", in the API the default is "active" plus "paused" plus "removed".
