Comment:

 A user in WordPress is made up if a combination of data from the users
 table and the usermeta table.

 You need to delete the appropriate rows in the usermeta table too, which
 is where the user role information is stored (and where these totals are
 calculated from).

 Ideally you shouldn't delete users directly from the database and instead
 do it via the admin area or with a tool such as WP-CLI.
