Abstract The problem of constructing optimal multiple deletion correcting codes has long been open until recent breakthrough for binary cases. Yet comparatively less progress was made in the non-binary counterpart, with the only rate one non-binary deletion codes being Tenengolts' construction that corrects single deletion. In this paper, we present several $q$-ary $t$-deletion correcting codes of length~$n$ that achieve optimal redundancy up to a factor of a constant, based on the value of the alphabet size~$q$. For small~$q$, our constructions have~$O(n^{2t}q^t)$ encoding/decoding complexity. For large~$q$, we take a different approach and the construction has polynomial time complexity.
