Oh Sorry, I saw your 1st account didn't exist anymore, and it looks the same as if a user deletes an account. Its also common a user will delete their account after making a malice edit.

Thanks for responding. Yah removing features that exist on the ground is not valid in OSM, even if they are unauthorized. 

That wiki page will do a better job of explaining why "Why can't I delete this trail?".

But here is some more information that might be useful for you getting started maintaining trails on OSM. Check out the "Trails Stewardship Initiative". 

The idea is to use OSM's tagging system to accuracy describe the trails state and status, rather than removing them completely (as that normally only leads to them being replaced by another user, or making the map less helpful for search and rescue teams)
