Accidentally discarded Garmin activity Garmin Edge 1030+

I finished an activity on bike yesterday, very hot day, 80 km. My Garmin 1030+ is quite new, so when I stopped the ride, instead of saving it, screen asked if I wanted to discard and was not sure which one ot X or V (check) I should tap. I tapped the check by mistake and it discarded my file. Tried to retrieve it with Recuva on a PC, I clearly see the .fit file with a bunch of other .tmp files and others but as soon as I try to upload it Garmin Connect or Strava, that .fit file can't be read. Any help? I really want to retrieve that ride data!!! Thank you much in advance!

This will upload to GC - 2022-05-21-11-38-20-fixed.fit

However, it's only 61 km. Perhaps someone else will have a look

Some level of file corruption is typical of a recovered fit file. We can look to see if it is repairable.

Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.

I just uploaded it, zipped, but from a Mac (got both).

Thanks. Indeed, there's the last 20 km missing from the last pit stop I did to refuel a bit. All this is so strange... I guess my total 80 km is gone for good. Thanks anyway. Appreciate it (and wonder what you did to at least recover part of it!)

Fixed using Fit File Repair Tool This is only available for MS Windows, as it uses Microsoft Access as its database.

super impressed with the response from the garmin community, so i used recuva but it only contained files that looked like from 2022, my lost ride was from jan 31 2023 (back story when i ended by ride there was apparently some sweat on my screen and the sweat navigated the edge 1030 to discard the activity ...smh) do you think the data is contained in some of thise files labelled 2022 ????? if so ill go ahead and zip them
