Delve
Delve is a static ability that functions while the spell with delve is on the stack. “Delve” means “For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may exile a card from your graveyard rather than pay that mana.”
The delve ability isn’t an additional or alternative cost and applies only after the total cost of the spell with delve is determined.
Multiple instances of delve on the same spell are redundant.
Rulings
You cast the copy while Reenact the Crime is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn.
If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
If you don't want to cast the copy, you can choose not to; the copy ceases to exist the next time state-based actions are checked.
If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost", you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Demand Answers, those must be paid to cast the card.
