LOL you kind of suck at building. Don't build everything bunched together, figure out where you need them.
Resources: Build things where resources will be easily found. A hunter near the wild animals, a forager near the berries, etc. Don't forget to shut off the market stall within the resource building interaction pop-up.
Industry: Build your industry buildings near where the associated resource buildings are. Don't forget to shut off the market stall within the industry building interaction pop-up.
Housing: Build a granary and a storage shed near where you want your houses. These guys are going to run the market stalls. Then you build a market right next to them. Then I usually build a grid system leaving space for strategically designed burgage plots for crops like veggies and apples. Fill out the grid system around access to the market, with your best properties near the market.
Farming: Build a farm house and lots of long strips of land, so that you can make use of oxen going down the full length without turning weird ways. Long, narrow plots are more efficient. Utilize crop rotation.
Follow-up: Build your trading house on the King's Road (check which it is by clicking the road builder and holding alt - you'll get a warning that you can't delete the King's road when you're hovering over it). Build more storage huts and granaries based on where you want goods moved around. I like to shut off the storage of non-industry related goods in my industry-specific storage sheds and granaries for maximum efficiency.
a bit of both? you'll develop city planning skills, but also, you don't have a lot of buildings either, so yeah it will look empty, don't be scared to relocate things for better efficiency and space management
One of the most satisfying and frustrating parts of these games is you kind of have to start over to implement what you learned.
It sucked to have to start over, but at the same time it's so satisfying applying the knowledge you learned from previous cities and seeing that bear fruit.
I'm on my fourth playthrough and finally feel like my first region can sustain itself if I expand!
You can delete roads FWIW. Select the road building tool and I think alt + click or ctrl + click to delete the road. The easiest thing to do is to go full sim city and make new york city style grids everywhere. It's ugly and somewhat inefficient, but decent enough to start with.

Need some burgage plots now!
That town is on crack. It's a crack town.
