Hi TomDeKanter, welcome to OSM.
May I know the reason behind deleting many buildings, which have been mapped yesterday by a different contributor? Thanks.

Comment from TomDeKanter
Ofcourse you may. I reviewed the map and found that none of the buildings that were mapped by the previous contributor were (to my knowledge) in fact visible on the map. If I made a mistake by deleting all the buildings that I thought were not there, then I apoligize and will do my best to correct it.

I am tempted to agree with you.
Not looking into the deleted buildings in detail, my eye was caught by the area around node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4453100227#map=19/-2.53413/33.61433 which looks to my untrained first-world eye more like an occasional river and watering hole (animals in the area) than a road at this point.
Looking at the available built-in imagery layers, I can not only see no evidence of any buildings, but a bit to the south where there are circular outlines and source is given (added yesterday), the same or equivalent sources from satellite passes show absolutely nothing.
I've no idea if this is like a Pokemon game with motivation for cheating by adding fake data.
With that, I'll go back to sleep, as I was not completely awakened to look into this. -

@TomDeKanter, thank you very much for your answer.
So we should ask the contributor who created or maybe "imported" the buildings?
I'll create a comment here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/56610762
