Unfortunately I some of my edits used some sources that looked fine under
the for CC-by-SA terms but on closer inspection of the ODBL terms, which was
done after I blindly followed the advice of another contributor, I am not at
all comfortable that the work would stand up legally for CC-by-ODBL terms.
I can give a date before which I was not so careful and would very much
prefer any edits done before this time to be deleted or are you saying I'm
now legally liable for the content of OSM even though I am aware some data
does not meet the ODBL terms and I have no way out of this?

Thanks John
