But I can see the post just with the "[deleted]" username, or is it just me? I edited those to say something else and then delete them, so I wonder if I'm the only one I can see them.

If you deleted your account then they can always restore the content. They won't restore the account but they can restore the posts.

Though depending on the specific content in the post may be a violation of CCPA/GDPR to do so. Probably others are covered as well, even if not known to reddit, for example folks in Virginia, USA have the VCDPA and folks in Colorado, USA hav the CPA, Brazil has the LGPD, and Canada has PIPEDA.

They are doing this a lot. Louis Rossman covered this in a recent YouTube video.

That sounds like you've deleted your account and you missed getting that post when you were deleting--either because it was over the 1000 limit or because it was in a sub that was private when you were trying to delete things.

I deleted my stuff over a period of several days. Some of those comments are gone entirely (not in the search results), some of them are hits but when you go to the thread, the comment's been deleted, and some of them are hits where there's a line of the comment as part of the google search result but when you go to the thread there's nothing there. So Google's in the process of forgetting things.

I don't really know what you mean

I do. I see the same thing as OP. I think what happened is this was a post from a sub that was private when OP deleted the account, but went public after. Or maybe a really old one that was somehow past the visibility limit. But yeah the comment is still there - and now uneditable and undeletable.
