Hmm. I do not know if Praw lets me know when a comment has been deleted or not. There are two ways I can think of -

Periodically check if each replied comment is deleted or not. But as the number of replied comments grows this will be troublesome.
Show a link on each post which can only be triggered by the author of the comment that will delete the bot's comment.

I'll keep this open in case I find a way or someone can help.
