I've tried to delete the errors which I've made, unfortunately because they have descendants I cannot do this. Would I be able to delete my complete tree and start again.?

You either have to delete the descendants first (starting with the nearest generation to the present day) or as you suggest delete the whole lot and start again.

Which is best depends on how big your tree is and how far into the tree the errors are.

TBH the Genes tree builder is pretty c**p when you have to try and edit or correct things,

Another option is to email GR & ask them to put it right from their end , but you will have to give them an explaination of what you need to be done.

Yet another option is to have your tree on your hard drive using Family History software.
Correct on your own PC then import to GR
