Is there any endpoint to delete an authenticated user's saved routes or routes in general? I've searched through the documentation but found only GET endpoints.

As far as I am aware Strava does not allow API access to anything which could change a user's data (the actual data, not stuff like title/description/etc...). This means you can't delete anything, nor can you change privacy, map visibility, correct distance/elevation, crop/trim, or anything else which would change the activity data. The same applies to routes -- you can get data about the route and export it, but you can't create/modify/delete routes.

The only exceptions I know of are you can update a user's weight and FTP setting via the API.
