Yup, all you have to do is press y and your character will sweep it off with their foot. Though that does mean that if you've placed a path throughout your town, you'll have to do that with every single tile.
Do you put down paths?

You basically pick them up again like picking up an apple. In the past I often accidentally picked them up in other villages.

I really don't understand the appeal of paths. In all honesty, I think it makes the towns look trashy and unclean and just not natural. I prefer to leave mine plain. I don't even have any designs on the ground. Though in Wild World, I had a puddle design (which I want again because it looked nice) and I placed it in various places but it looked really natural.
But yeah. I won't be having any paths. If my grass gets deteriorated, I don't care. If my flowers are run over, I don't care. I don't do hybriding or anything like that anyway. c:

I've got paths at the moment, which I will line with bushes when I've built all the PWPs I want. I've got all the villagers I want and where I want them. After a while, I'll pull up my paths so that I have natural dirt paths.
I use paths. It helps me to organize my town and figure out where to place things. It also helps to protect most of my grass from being walked on.
I always feel a bit lost when I visit towns that don't have any paths down. ^^;

I have decided on the pink colored path, but I've got the water effect path around my tree I planted when I was appointed mayor. The only bad thing about paths is when you change your path in the pattern menu the original path you had down changes to the one you just chose. Wish you could have a few different paths at the same time, we should have more spaces in the patterns menu.
I couldn't agree more about needing more pattern space. The artistry shown in some of these patterns can be just amazing, and just as subtle, or as overtly fantastic as you like- it would be nice to have room for more patterns for different town "moods"! I'm using one for my main roads, and one for my woodland trails, and then one more for greenery- and I'm considering co-opting my husband's pattern selection to squeeze in a couple more patterns.

I placed paths after getting tired of seeing dirt patches. Luckily, my main places weren't awkward to work around. I have paths around some villager's houses but not all. I really love how my town looks so far. I even created two characters to prevent certain spots from being taken.
I love creating my own designs for paths, clearing space for my pathways, and placing the paths in a configuration that I envisioned. To me this is one of the most enjoyable parts of Animal Crossing.
In fact, I love using the Dream Suite to see how others arrange their paths, even though I don't use others' designs. Some usages are very creative and inspirational!
As for pattern space for paths, I recently created a second character mostly just to keep more patterns for me. I am not using a bordered path yet, but when I create one I will need the extra pattern space.

I do. I saved a pattern from a member here. I have paths running from all houses to the main points in town - Town Hall, the Town Tree, Re-Tail, the station, and the two beach access points. I was able to place my campsite, fountain, and The Roost along established paths, which was nice.
I'm working on getting bushes to border them. I may or may not take them up after, because I kind of like the stone look.

I just found a nice pattern that only takes one spot so I decided i'd put down a pattern!

I'm now having a blast creating patterns and putting them down! It's a new experience for me as I never built paths in AC:WW. As much as I am tempted to use other players' beautiful creations, I want my town to represent me in as many ways as possible, so I'm doing my own thing. This means Zingzang will never be as pretty or cute or beautiful as many other towns out there, but I'm totally okay with that.
My paths are different from the usual two-square-wide streets I've seen in most other (dream) towns. Mine are natural looking (at least I think so!) and they meander unpredictably, with lots of turns and twists. There is no precision, but the paths do serve a purpose and lead to the major buildings such as the plaza and town hall. I think small, winding paths through the trees (most of which are in their original places) give an exploratory, natural feel. I like it this way.

I can only make little things and dresses =P I like my current path too much to alter it. It's unobtrusive but adds to the charm, I think. I think most people here would hate my map since it has the windiest river on the planet. I stuck with it because Re-Tail's close to the shore, so I can make bug or item-selling runs easier. It's in a central location so that's what matters.
Otherwise, one of my paths lead to a very lovely forested section with two face cutout standees and a flower clock. I find it very relaxing. ^^ I should put a nice bench somewhere.

No paths yet but I want to. Im currently trying to get use of the QR machine on a slave character to hold the pattern. I'm going for quite a natural looking path though:
