is there a way helps me with this issue?

thanks in advance :slight_smile:

That’s not a tile.

What you are working with sounds like it is a .osm file, and any XML editor capable of handling that file size should be able to work with it. You can also use a plain text editor.

Note that 2GB is the maximum file size for many older operating systems and, especially as the internal representation of an XML structure is likely to be larger than the serialised form, is likely to cause problems on machines with a less than 64 bit architecture and performance problems on machines with less than 4GB of physical memory.

You can use try osmfilter :
