How do i delet routes from my route -n table?

As mentioned in man route

route del <target>

Hope this helps.

is this correct:

route del -net 169.254.0.0 nm 255.255.0.0 dev eth2 ?

It depends on what it is you want to delete.

If you want to delete this (part of route -n):
192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

$ route del -net 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1

If you want to delete a gateway entry like this:
0.0.0.0 192.168.100.11 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

$ route del -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.169.100.11 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth0

If you want to add an entry, just replace del with add

Hope this clears things up a bit.
