PPTP is Point-to-Point, so the fact that the default route is via the PPTP interface is by design and attempts to provide basic access security.

NOTE: Unlike OpenVPN, there is no PPTP equivalent of the 'route-nopull' directive to automatically force the use of the WAN when the PPTP client interface is established.

Configuration of the outbound PPTP connection is via the PPTP Client GUI and the variables are actually stored in NVRAM and can be examined/modified from a command prompt:

nvam show | grep vpnc

vpnc_pppoe_ifname=ppp5
vpnc_ipaddr=10.200.21.5
vpnc_pppoe_username=
vpnc_pppoe_passwd=
vpnc_pptp_options_x_list=<+mppe-128

etc.

So if you wish to bring UP the PPTP client but then restore the default routing to the WAN then issue:

ip route delete default via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev ppp5

but unless you now manually configure Selective Routing (aka Split Tunnelling) then I'm not sure what you expect this route deletion to achieve?
