I'm looking at an area where a few prominent trails are missing from the OSM data set. I think they must have been there in the past. I know how to look at given changesets and history of any current way.... but this is different. How can I see and track objects in an area that are now gone? The answers at https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/7/how-do-i-see-the-history-for-my-area are focused on a different type of deletion. Some answers refer to a potlatch feature that's no longer current. |

The standard tools for this sort of thing are Achavi and Open Histoy Viewer. People who use them regularly get good results with them. A slightly simpler approach is to use Attic data queries with Overpass, possibly combined with a binary chop over time. In practice if I'm looking for a removed element I can usually remember a time when it was present so dont need to run multiple queries. Once you have the object id it is easy to find when it was deleted. You can also show all GPX traces with potlatch2 and probably JOSM which may help if public traces have been uploaded.

The "potlatch feature that's no longer current" still works for me, BTW.
