Default conditions are met but actions not (always) taken

I've got a database sheet of about 3000 rows with a date column (values from
2004 up to yesterday).
When I run this:
If cell.Value < (CDate(Now) - 2) Then cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
all the cells up to three days ago turn yellow, as they should.

But when i run this:
If cell.Value < (CDate(Now) - 2) Then EntireRow.Delete
about half the rows are deleted but I still have hundreds of dates from
years ago.
I've tried splitting the "If" into:
If cell.Value < (CDate(Now) - 2) Then
EntireRow.Select
Selection.Delete
End if
but the result is the same.

Can anyone explain why I'm getting different results and how this apparently
random selection is taking place?
