-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The OSM files are normal XML files, open them using a text editor. Now delete all ways/nodes/relations that contain the deleted=true attribute. I can't recommend a good XML editor that would do that for you, but you might want to have a look. JOSM does not have an internal function to clean up history.
