*sigh*

When you run dpkg-reconfigure locales, you are telling it which locales
you want to HAVE ON YOUR SYSTEM.  The whole set.  All of them.

If you previously generated en_US.UTF-8, and you'd like to KEEP IT, then
you should select it (make sure it stays selected) when you run
dpkg-reconfigure locales again.

If the ONLY locale you want is en_US.UTF-8, then make sure that locale
(and no other locale) is selected when you run dpkg-reconfigure locales.

If you UNSELECT a locale that was previously selected, it will probably
delete that locale.  Maybe probably.  'Cause who the hell does that?
I've never tested it.  Why would I?  It's a dumb thing to do.
