Can I delete just the activities from a single Garmin device from my Garmin Connect account?

Before going on a cycling holiday, I uploaded the routes to mine and a friend's Garmin 820s.  He also asked for me to update his device, as he rarely attaches it to his PC.

Whilst I connected his 820 to my PC, it has sync'ed all his rides to my G-Connect account.  As we ride together a lot, there are some very similar rides and telling the 100s of activities apart is going to takes ages...

Is there a way of sorting the data by a unique identifier, such as device serial number, so I can remove all his activities from my account, without reading each one to compare start and finish locations?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi, thanks so much for this solution. When I open the .py file and it opens a command prompt, I can enter the email address easily but when it asks for the password, it does not accept my input (i.e. if I type, there are no characters displaying on the screen). Is there a fix for this? Thanks!

    When I run the script, it states "No activities found for the given date range." I have tripple checked the device id.. What do i do? 

    "Device ID: 3445539475
    Select Activities
    Up to 9999 activities can be processed at one time.
    Leave the start date blank to start at the beginning.
    Leave the end date blank to end at the latest activity.

    Start Date (e.g. "2018-09-30" or blank):
    End Date (e.g. "2018-10-30" or blank):


    WARNING: GARMIN CONNECT ACTIVITIES FOR DEVICE 3445539475 IN THE GIVEN DATE RANGE WILL BE DELETED FOREVER!
    Type "YES" and press ENTER if you are absolutely sure: YES
    Logging in...

    Searching for activities (this might take a while)...

    No activities found for the given date range.

    Done!
    Press ENTER to quit"

    On page 2 or 3, I cant remember, it states that the password will look empty for sequrity, but what you enter will be written, so just enter password and press enter (even tough it looks like nothing is beeing typed, it is)

    I am getting: "no activities found for the given date range" - which is not true.

    Have anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?

    I am using the correct device id. 
    I have tried bot not to type any date range in, and also to type in a date range.

    Thx in advance.

    Hey everyone!  Here is the fixed & updated script that currently works:


    https://www.reddit.com/r/Garmin/comments/1de5mbj/deletejusttheactivitiesfromasinglegarmindevicefrom/


    You'll still need to install Python ahead of time:  www.python.org/.../


    And then you'll need to install the "Garmin Connect" Python package:  https://pypi.org/project/garminconnect/

         ...using the command line:  pip3 install garminconnect


    (call the "pip3" file, wherever Python installed pip3 at...  probably in the "Scripts" subfolder in the Python folder)



    And then you'll need to copy the actual script (from the Reddit link above) and paste it into a new "delete-activity.py" file  (or whatever filename you want to use)

    And then run:  python.exe delete-activity.py

    When you enter your password, it will show up invisibly (to hide it, for privacy, so keep typing it even though it doesn't appear on the screen as you type it).

    And the script seems to like it better when I type the password in manually, rather than copying and pasting it.

    Just a heads up that this newer script seems to delete ALL activities, and doesn't give the option to delete activities only within a certain date range.
