Sorry, this is bush league, but…I can usually figure out what went wrong when I get JOSM error messages, but I have not been able to figure out what to do to correct this, and now I’ve got a significant update that I can’t upload.
Any help from those of you who don’t find JOSM totally inscrutable would be much appreciated!!

Way 13441173 has been deleted 4 hours ago. You’re uploading a relation with a deleted way.
Find the relation, find the “Incomplete way”, delete it?

Okay, let me give you some details:
You’re uploading an entirely new relation (thus it only says “relation with id” without an actual ID, implying that it hasn’t been uploaded before) that contains Way 13441173, a deleted way. Common sense: A relation cannot contain something that doesn’t exist anymore.
Check all your NEW relations, then open the relation editor, download all members, and if one of them returns an error OR the members contain an “Incomplete” after downloading all members, fix that relation.
Do note that this is a deduction based on my JOSM use. Should be accurate enough, but no guarantee is given.

I just tried using JOSM after taking a long hiatus and could not get it to work. I used JOSM in the past to draw. I ended up updating Java and then just going through all of the settings once again and I am back again.

@louis_walker: @austinhuang is correct. The problem is that a line was deleted sometime between when you downloaded the dataset and now. The easiest way is to delete the line in question (and any nodes that are also deleted as needed). You can search right in JOSM for Way 13441173 in your dataset. If that line is something important and should not have been deleted (e.g. accidental edit by a neighbor; vandalism; etc.), open a new layer and restore that line by using the reverter plug in. You can do a partial revert solely on that line and associated nodes. Then, with the line restored, you can upload your dataset as intended.

That’s the trouble…I’ve tried searching for Way 13441173 but I keep getting the result “No match found.” I’m stumped! Apparently I need to delete something that doesn’t exist anywhere! 😅

Yeah, you have to check all your newly-created relations, download all members, and see if any error appears.
