Unable to read device data for vivoactive5

After I opened the SDK manager, downloaded the latest devices and the latest sdk (6.4.1 November 30) I get the following error popup in VSC: Unable to read device data for vivoactive5

Unable to read device data for vivoactive5.

    What I would try is to go to the devices folder, delete the vivoactive5 device, open the SDK manager, and reinstall the device.  It could have been something like you closed the SDK Manager before the download of the va5 was complete

    It looks like there's something going on with vivoactive5. 2 weeks ago I deleted the directory, then downloaded vivoactive5 device again. But today, after I opened sdk manager to download the new System7 stuff I got this popup. At first I thought it's some problem with my stuff, but when the exact same happened on a second Mac I start to understand that this must be some Garmin bug.

    I've uploaded new Vivoactive 5 configs that should fix the SDK Manager not being able to delete the device. Until we can get a new version of the manager that can properly delete this bad config you'll have to manually delete it. Delete the following folders to fix it.

    Windows: %APPDATA%\Garmin\ConnectIQ\Devices\vivoactive5

    MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Data/Garmin/ConnectIQ/Devices/vivoactive5

    Linux: ~/.Garmin/ConnectIQ/Devices/vivoactive5
