'''Delete the currently selected [wikitr:/Help/Concepts/Object objects].'''

== Deleting objects ==
The results of deleting an object are:
 * If a deleted node was at the end of a way, the way gets shortened.
 * If a deleted node was in the middle of the way, the way is changed that it runs between the remaining nodes.
 * If the user deletes a way then the way and its untagged nodes not being child of another way get deleted.
 * If the user deletes a relation only the relation is deleted.
In all cases the object is removed from all relations it was a member of before. Usually a [wikitr:/Help/Action/Delete#DeleteFromRelations warning] is raised in advance of deleting an object`s membership.
