Hi there, I've reverted this change and added access=private to define the roads as private. 

I strongly recommend you read both of these wiki articles:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Why_can%27t_I_delete_this_trail%3F
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Why_we_won't_delete_roads_on_private_property

Others have had to do this before for the same reason from you, so be warned that if you continue to do this you may receive a bit more pushback.

Thanks :)
