I deleted all of my old addons since the patch and loaded a few new ones, but in my ingame add on menu only the ones I have deleted show up.

Check where you have the game installed. With the new patch, the default installation of the game changed destinations.
What I mean is, you probably have the game installed in:
C:/Program Files/World of Warcraft
But the patch, for some people, reinstalled the game to:
C:/Users/Public/Games/World of Warcraft
Essentially creating two WoW games on your hardrive. You probably added your new addons to the first orginal Addon folder, but the game is running from the second destination.
Try checking to see if this is the case and see if the game is now installed in the second location. If it is, put the addons into the new Addon folder in the Users/Public/Games/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons folder.
I hope this answer helps. Let us know!

I recommend you download the program Wow Matrix. It is a program that automatically updates all your add-ons and has a tab in it where you can find and download any add-on worth mentioning without having to search for it on the internet. Very handy tool.
