It took me a while to get to the correct tile on zoom 15 [1] but it was 
clean and rendered at 30-6. I marked it dirty and it got rendered. In 
the process I noticed that z13 appeard correct too.
z16 is still incorrect [2]
"Tile is clean. Last rendered at Wed Jul 05 20:47:35 2017. Last accessed 
at Sat Jul 08 18:55:11 2017. Stored in 
file:///srv/tile.openstreetmap.org/tiles/default/16/0/149/15/249/0.meta"
I did my edit on the 6th. Why does the renderer not see that I deleted 
an item and mark the tile dirty?

I have to say: it is a nuisance that you can not get this information 
easily. Please someone who is in the map development and reads this: add 
an item to the right-click menu where you can see tile status. There is 
a complaint about it on the dutch forum as well. [3]
