How many interfaces does the router have?

If it is a typical router will two interfaces, one inside the other outside,
replacing all the static routes with a single default route will be more
ideal. If you already have a default route and those static routes, do a
recursive lookup to your outgoing default route interface, then removing
then will do no harm.

If you have more than two external/outside interfaces, do a triage of your
static routes and group them, after that summarizing them and routing the
summarized route to the appropriate outgoing interface, might be another
option worth looking at.
