+== Stale object in your local dataset == #SyncPotentiallyDeletedObjects
+Sometimes another mapper deletes an [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Object object] on the server while it sill present in your local dataset. These objects are called '''stale'''. When you run the update action JOSM checks whether your local dataset may include stale object and displays the following warning dialog:
+
+[[Image(sync-potentially-deleted-objects.png)]]
+
+If you click on '''Check on the server''' JOSM checks on the server whether potentially stale objects are really stale, i.e. whether they are deleted on the server. If possible it will purge stale objects automatically from your local dataset. At least, if automatic removal is not possible, it will create [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Conflict conflicts] which you can resolve manually.
+
+
+If you don't want to run this check, you can abort by clicking on '''Ignore'''. You can always run the checks later.
