If there was a single grey tick before you hit 'Delete for everyone' then you can rest easy: it hadn't even been delivered to their phone. If there were two grey ticks then it was delivered, but not read. Two blue ticks?
Two blue ticks means the recipient has received and read the message. You can delete a message before and after it has been received and read, and there are two ways it can be deleted. Depending which option you choose, the other user may see that you have done so.
A second grey check mark means that your message has been delivered, received on the recipients' device, and isn't just floating around on the network. If the recipient has read receipts turned on, two grey check marks indicate that the recipient has received but not yet read the message.
After the single tick has appeared, the message is already on the server and can't be removed/aborted. If your data connection is slow/unavailable, you can cancel the message by deleting it before the tick appears. Here's confirmation of this on the WhatsApp FAQ for check marks.

It is advisable to not turn on disappearing messages for workplace chats because you might end up losing important texts if you have not starred them. Rather than asking your colleague or manager to resend some details, it is best you don't turn this feature on at all.
A single tick shows that the message is sent successfully, while a double tick means whether the message is delivered to the recipient's phone. The blue double tick, on the other hand, means that the message has been read by the recipient.
A single grey tick on WhatsApp does not necessarily mean that you have been blocked by the person you are trying to message. There are various reasons for the occurrence of single grey ticks that includes having network troubles and unavailability of a data connection.

Last seen and online tell you the last time your contacts used WhatsApp, or if they're online. If a contact is online, they have WhatsApp open in the foreground on their device and are connected to the Internet. However, it doesn't necessarily mean the contact has read your message.
If you don't see two blue check marks, a blue microphone, or “Opened” label next to your sent message or voice message: You or your recipient might have disabled read receipts in the privacy settings. The recipient might have blocked you. The recipient might not have opened your conversation.
