They wont appear on the desktop upload list because you uploaded them via iCloud on the mobile - the uploading doesnt move across devices like that. It only uploads from the device you are using.

Where did you delete them from? What exactly did you do?
Have you checked in recycle bin etc.?

Okay so essentially I transferred 150 videos from my iCloud to dropbox. Then I deleted the dropbox app on my iPhone, to solely use the desktop version. I go on my desktop app, and the 150 videos aren't in the upload queue anymore.
