<p>The overall count includes your votes on deleted posts. The tab with details of your votes doesn't. </p> <p>Back in the days, the overall count did not include votes on deleted posts. That was changed last year: <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/117846/">"Votes cast" should include votes on deleted contributions</a>. One reason is that the votes cast by a user on deleted posts are still contributions to the community (e.g., downvotes on junk that gets eventually deleted), and as such they count toward vote-based badges. </p> <p>On the other hand, the categories on <code>votes</code> tab of your profile do not include your votes on deleted posts, even your votes to delete and undelete. There is a feature request to change this behavior. <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/166851/">Delete votes tab in profile doesn't show votes on deleted posts (ironically)</a> </p> <hr> <p>By the way: since we are all now checking our <em>Votes</em> tab, someone will notice the closure votes annotated with <code>(deleted)</code>: </p> <p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/ALPqn.png" alt="deleted"></p> <p>This does not mean the question was deleted (as I first thought), but rather that the vote has been "accounted for" in the process of closure. If this makes no sense to you, I'm not surprised. In the thread <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/175610/">What causes close votes to be annotated with "(deleted)"?</a> two SE employees had this lovely conversation: </p> <blockquote> <p>I thought it was supposed to be internal-only cause it's kind of useless and confusing for everyone else. – Anna Lear♦ </p> <p>Should say <code>(waffles)</code> for everyone else. Just as useless and confusing, but much tastier with maple syrup. – Shog9♦ </p> </blockquote>
