The issue with simply deleting them is that someone will no doubt visit 
OSM, see that there are no tracks marked, and add them back in, with no 
knowledge of the previously deleted tracks.

If the tracks were kept in OSM, but tagged appropriately so as not to 
appear in the rendering, then when someone inevitably goes to add them, 
they would see the tracks there already. Notes as to why they have been 
removed could also be added.
