When deleting long ways, that range outside the initially downloaded bounding box, the nodes of the way will remain in the database, since they might be shared with other ways, that were not downloaded outside the bounding box.

I'd suggest to either give a warning message, when deleting such ways or, better, try to download the regions outside the bounding box and check if it is safe to delete that node, as it is done with streets that are entirely inside the bounding box.

Changing to "Enhancement", as you should "download more" the additional bounding box to avoid this behaviour.

I agree a warning is a minimum, though...
