Forgot to press save after run. Can I retrieve data ?

Former Member over 4 years ago

I finished a run this morning & pressed the stop button but forgot to press save on my Garmin 45.

Run not recorded but can I get it back ?

Then there is a chance it is still on your device.
- With your Garmin device connected to your computer
- Open the drive associated with your device.
- Look for your FIT file under the \GARMIN\ACTIVITY…

I have no experience with successfully fixing a golf activity. Might need someone else to assist. Meanwhile, I suggest at least reporting this issue to Garmin Product Support.

Can you tell me the circumstances of this problem? The file is only 2 KB in size and only contains summary data. My walk to the mailbox is 10 times bigger than this.

oh then my ride has not been saved in the watch :(. I was trying to save this morning and the watch suddenly shut down without saving it. now I cannot find my activity in the watch(in history)

You might need to try a file recovery tool such as mentioned here - how do I get my activity back if I delete it?

Just know that even after recovering it will be corrupt and need to be repaired.

Follow the hints from the previous post of seilogramp or simply run again

But i dont find my file

Did you try a recovery tool as advised by seilogramp? If the recovery tool did not find any deleted file, then you can only add the activity manually (or run again).

My advice is to record a short run, then editing it and adjusting the distance so that it reflects also the distance from the lost activity. You will not have the map, and all the other metrics, but at least you will have the distance.
