The director has full control of the scenes, right, but that is not the same thing as the script. Although, those "deleted scenes" were mostly removed due to time constraints; if they did do a bad scene then they would redo that scene or delete it (as you said). But like I said, the writer is the one who comes up with the idea - the director is the one who presents the script into visual.
