Downsizing gets rid of people and, usually, activities.
Delayering often gets rid of people, particularly middle management, but need not do so. You could keep exactly the same number of people employed but change the structure of the company to have fewer layers but wider spans of control.
For example, in a nuclear power station or oil exploration platform. The consequences of poor supervision are so terrible that narrow spans of control mean that subordinates can be closely managed and their actions double checked.

P13 of the notes explains all you need to know. It’s a simple concept.
If you need more, try Google.
