Feature showing on map hidden in Edit

I recently noticed that the petrol (gas) station on Tottenham Lane in Hornsey, London N8, UK, (almost opposite jct with Ferme Park Road), has two petrol pump icons. On going in to delete one, the unnamed one is not visible for deletion. Any clues as to a fix?

It's been added twice - once as an area and once as a point. To select the area, you'll need to click nearer the outer edge.

However. the area has more detail on it, so you won't want to delete that. To delete the node, just click on it and delete it.

To find both of these I used the query button on the main OSM website.

Thank you. I think I've been able to change that now.
