how do I get my activity back if I delete it?

hi Shougi

had a look at the recovered files

looks like the edge was not turned off after deletion mishap

• many files from your Fenix 7X (Physio TrueUp)
• one course fit file from March '22
• as far as I could see none of the provided files contain recent ride data

tip : care about sharing your data on a world wide forum, delete your file(s) or link(s) afterwards, so will I

happy & safe sporting

Hi OnlyTwo,

looks like the edge was not turned off after deletion mishap

Yes, you're right. I was in a big ride and I finished to climb a pass. I pressed on pause button and I leaned on the handlebars of my bike. Accidently, my t-shirt pressed on delete, on the edge 1030 screen.

5 minutes after I restart a "short" ride of about 1,5 km and I stopped it, save it. I did that because I searched on my phone "how to recover a deleted ride" and I found this topic.

I switched off my edge 1030 and finished my ride with my Fenix 7X.

I will delete files, but I don't know what is the best mean to upload those files on Garmin forum. If you have a better solution, I will take it.

I'm trying to do a new recovery and I will upload those new files.

I asked me one question. How it is possible to delete so easily a ride ? I mean, Garmin should implement a safety to avoid this type of problem. You can imagine that you have to press on 2 buttons on the same time to confirm the deletion.

solved

Thanks for the link, I will share my idea.

I re-upload my files from the new recovery that I did. If you find a ride for the 16th of October with about 145 kms, it will be the good one.

Thanks for your help.

Ok thanks for your help !

My ride is definitively lost...

Hi @seilogramp, OnlyTwo

My watch run out of battery during the running activity.

I tried to sync it but it says not enough data ... :(

I took the file from the watch memory.

I tried to manually upload it but it does not work.

Any chance you have a look at it?

Thank you! 

This will work - 4642536-fixed.zip

Unzip the file then import into Garmin Connect Web. Change the activity type from "other" to "running."

I used FIT File Tools section remover to fix this one. I tested your file to verify that this will work.

Some suggestions to help minimize the occurrence of corrupt fit files:

• Sync your watch then remove all activity fit files from the device using these directions - Removing Recorded Activities on a Garmin Fitness Device 
• Regularly check for firmware updates using Garmin Express
• Please report back here when you encounter corrupted files again

Thank you seilogramp for your quick fix and reply.

While waiting i also found a workaround: i uploaded the file to strava then exported a gpx file from strava and loaded to the garmin account.

Thanks again!

While that can work to some extent, your activity will be missing some data, such as run cadence, device information, etc., as the GPX file strips out these metrics that are contained in the FIT file.
