After 17 plus years together you should be comfortable enough to ASK him what the heck is going on. Sure you can have a relaxing dinner but you guys have been together longer than the average marriage. Ask him straight up.

How do you know he is deleting stuff of his cell phone? Are you checking up on him? Has he changed his behaviour in any other way recently?
I think, rather than checking up on him or accusing him, the best approach would be to address your relationship with him. Do you still have fun together? Do you have time for the two of you? Do you MAKE time for the two of you? If not, then perhaps it is time to start doing that.
Perhaps you could go out for a meal and, when you are both relaxed, ask him how he is and if you two can do anything to make your relationship stronger. Perhaps ask him if there is anything "bothering" him. Have a heart to heart (without accusing him of anything as you have no proof at this stage) and see if anything comes out.
