I have a used Garmin connect that I thought reset to factory settings, but it uploaded all old data from the previous owner to Garmin Connect and Strava. Does anyone know the easiest and best way to remove the data that isn't mine? I can not find a way to sort by added date, and connect imported all of my Strava data.
In the activies view of GC website - you can 'filter' by date range. I think you can also sort by date.
Also to prevent it from happening again - you can connect to computer, browse to device in 'My Computer' , then delete all of the old .fit files in the Activities folder.
Yes, I saw the filters for GC. Looks like all data sync'd to Strava records the device, yet you can't filter by the upload device (i.e. Edge 520). It also just titles the ride Morning/Lunch/Afternoon/Evening ride. Filtering by date would be handy, but the bad data has dates that mix in with my dates. No easy solution really. Too bad. Time consuming to clean this up.
Unfortunately, we don't have a bulk select tool to delete multiple activities at once. The most accessible way to delete activities one by one is from My Activities or your Training Log under the Training tab. If someone else's Garmin history was uploaded to your Strava account by accident, please get in touch with our support team directly.
