Absolutely, I've scrapped areas quite a few times. Some areas just aren't worth rewriting, especially if you don't have a lot of building help available. Sometimes an area's so bad that it really does make the game better by getting rid of it. In some cases I run an event or create some reason for it to disappear - in cases where the area's somewhat out of the way anyway, I tend to delete it and hope that no one notices it's gone, as it means that no one really remembered how bad it was...
