[OSM-newbies] How do you permanently delete stuff in JOSM (stop itbeing saved as history?)

[Jason Cunningham]

I've just understood what JOSM mean by "delete". When I delete data in JOSM,
I am kind of placing a mark against the data instructing openstreetmap to
delete the data from its files. So if I uploaded the file to Openstreetmap,
this deletion "mark" would lead to openstreetmap deleting the data from its
files.

But I had no intention uploading the this file to OSM (becaus I had deleted
important information), and wanted to store the data at my end with the
deleted stuff actually deleted.

Cheers

Jason
