I am running version "Helix Visual Client/NTX64/2017.3/1592764".
'p4 reconcile' does mark files as open for delete, however if these
files have been opened for edit before deleting them reconcile fails and it says
there are no files to reconcile.

It's a pity that the inverse function is not implemented, it would seem
logical wouldn't it :\
However p4 revert -k; p4 reconcile seem like they might be the solution to my
problem. The documentation says that the "-k" option keeps workspace
files and only alters the changelist. If that also stops it from restoring
deleted files that could be my solution.

I will see if that works in the future, thanks for the input so far guys!
