+If your upload includes a deleted [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Object node] the OSM server checks if the node is still used in one of the ways known to the server. You have to make sure that the node is ''isolated'' (not part of any way and not referred to by any relation) before it can be deleted. 
+
+If the OSM server detects that the node is still in use it replies an error message which JOSM displays as follows: 
+
+[[Image(upload-412-node-still-in-use.png)]]
+
+If you click on '''Prepare conflict resolution''' JOSM supports you in resolving the issue. First it downloads all ways in which the node is still used and merges them with your current dataset. In most cases, JOSM removes the deleted node from all parent ways automatically. If for some reason this isn't possible, JOSM creates a [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Conflict conflict] which you have to [wiki:/Help/Concepts/Conflict resolve] manually.
