Corrupted FIT file - cannot delete / copy / paste / upload

Former Member

Hi there...this is my 1st post and I really hope someone can help!

I have recently started using a Garmin Forerunner 110 for my running and have joined Strava. I have been uploading activity successfully until one file was having trouble. I wasn't sure what to do and I mistakenly edited the file name, which I realise now has corrupted the file.

I can see the file in Windows, i.e. Garmin/Activity folder, however when I tried to use the FitFileRepair tool, the Import function sees this Activity folder as being empty.

Also, the file seems to have disappeared from the Forerunner's History.

When I try and copy and paste the file from the Activity folder, it shows an error message.

When I try to upload the FIT file using the attachment function here, I get an "Upload Failed" message.

I would prefer to NOT do a hard reset on the Forerunner as I will lose any activity completed since the corrupted file.

ANY and ALL help greatly appreciated...I realise this is my error in renaming the file however what's done is done.

Many thanks in advance...Leanne (total newbie).
