Welcome to OSM! That's no reason to clear the streets. You can also mark the authorization with access=privat.

Hello, I'm new to OSM.
My driveways are not streets.
What mapping data does OSM pull from which would select my driveways as streets?
Are all driveways marked as streets until marked access=privat? -

Many roads were brought in as part of an import of the TIGER roads database from the government, which does include many driveways. However, that import didn't always distinguish the driveway as private, so it was imported as a "Residential Road" (highway=residential).
The reason to keep them rather than delete them is that they may be used by emergency services, planners, and others who may be interested in how accessible structures are around the country. Generally, if something exists in the real world, it should stay in the map, and just be correctly described so routers and renderers don't mis-use it. We only tend to delete things if they simply aren't there (there are some TIGER roads that don't exist, so those do get deleted).
In this case, the best solution would be to use the "Driveway" preset in the iD editor, which will apply the tags "highway=service, service=driveway, and access=private".
