This seems like more a Sirsi question than a MarcEdit question.
If you're asking in general whether you can delete records in
Symphony by uploading fresh copies with the delete bit set, the
answer is yes: I do it all the time. If you're asking whether, once
you've downloaded the correct records, you can use MarcEdit to
set the delete bit, the answer is again yes (though almost any
editor would do this). 

Maybe the tricky question is whether there is any easy way to
get Symphony to download only the records with no holdings.
I *think* you can do this by using the canned report "Extract
keys for Marc export" (under the bibliographic tab of Reports),
select your records (unless you have some better means of identifying
them) by choosing, under 'call number selection' number of copies = 0,
generating a list of keys for export, then using the Marc export utility
(under Utilities tab) to actually export them.  Once you get them
in hand, you can see whether they correspond with the records you
meant to delete (pull Ids from them and compare to your list).
If so, you can then set the delete bit, whether with MarcEdit
or otherwise, and reimport the records using the usual means, being
careful to check the box "deleted" on the record load report when
asked what should happen to records containing a "d" in the Leader/05.
