T-SQL 2005 DELETE Syntax

Call me a dork, but can someone explain why I still have records remaining?
Here's some sample code:

delete
from factcustsales
where fiscaldatewk between 2073 and 2088
-- (1125952 row(s) affected) 00:03:36

delete
from factcustsales
where fiscaldatewk between 2089 and 2104
-- (1065538 row(s) affected) 00:02:48

delete
from factcustsales
where fiscaldatewk between 2105 and 2120
-- ((1086253 row(s) affected) 00:02:37

I want to delete records where fiscaldatewk is between 2073 and 2120 so I ran the statements seperetly to avoid  log space issues. However, when I ran the select statement to make sure the records were deleted the query came back with a hit. How can I write the logic so that it doesn't miss any records...and why did it miss the records? Any help appriciated.
