I found that my what I had could actually do the
trick. Basically I didn't know that you could make a
delete statement like this:
DELETE FROM apliexpert WHERE ( id = "2" OR id = "7" OR
id = "1") AND softid = "3"

So my code goes:
#### code ################
for ($index = 0; $index < $total_records; $index++) {
    if (isset($userID[$index])) {
         $sql2 .= " OR id = \"" . $id[$index] . "\"";
    }
}

$sql2 = substr($sql2,3);
$query = "DELETE FROM apliexpert WHERE (" . $sql2 . ")
AND softid = \"$softID\"";
#### end ################
