First of all, you should NEVER remove anything from the database, unless<br>
you have made certain by your own eye that the object in question is an<br>
error and not existing in reality! Even than take care not to remove<br>
anything marked as abandoned or alike, that marks this object was once<br>
here and the info is kept for historical reasons.<br>

I routinely delete unnamed highway=residential ways from TIGER after a brief look at the aerial imagery. It's one thing to delete something that someone else manually entered, it's another thing entirely to delete something that came along with a mass import from a data source with known flaws.<br>
