Remove features/rows that start with

CCWeedcontrol

I have some rows that i would like to remove if they start with certain letters. I have the following code but i have to run it twice in order for it to remove certain rows, i am not sure why? I want to be able to remove rows that have the following in them "Xit",UPRR""Inpr Mp", "Impr Rxr", "I 84". How can i do this?

#delete all attributes/Rows that start with Xit, UPRR,Inpr Mp, Impr Rxr, I 84
with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(lyr, 'STREET') as cursor:
    for row in cursor:
        if row[0].startswith("Xit"): #"UPRR","Inpr Mp", "Impr, "Rxr", "I 84"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cursor.deleteRow()<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

I couldn't get it to work like you posted. I had to move the whereclause out of the UpdateCursor.

where = "STREET LIKE 'Xit%' OR STREET LIKE 'Uprr%' OR STREET LIKE 'Inpr%' OR STREET LIKE 'Impr%' OR STREET LIKE 'Rxr%' OR STREET LIKE 'I 84%'OR STREET LIKE 'Hwy%'"

with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor(lyr, 'STREET', where) as cursor:
    for row in cursor:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; cursor.deleteRow()<SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>
