If I activate ＜Fortitude＞ before the ＜On Deletion＞ effect when this Digimon is deleted, can I still activate the ＜On Deletion＞ effect?

No, you can't activate it. If a card moves to an area other than the trash before a triggered ＜On Deletion＞ effect activates, that ＜On Deletion＞ effect won't activate.
