Some tracks cannot be deleted?

Having trouble deleting tracks from internal storage on fenix 5x using BaseCamp. Actually, none of the tracks showing on internal storage have the option to delete them. And, for whatever reason, all the tracks and routes I created in BaseCamp and sent to the device are now not showing up. I still have them in my BaseCamp Library, but they're no longer showing on my device.

Frustrating. I suppose my main question for the group is, how do you delete a track that you don't want. The right-click option to delete does not appear for any of the tracks on my device.

Some devices cannot be accessed in BaseCamp in order to modify data, including Delete. In those cases you need to delete data using the menus on your device. Whether this is the case with the 5x I don't know.

Thanks for the response, and nice to talk to you again! Looks like you're probably right. I can find recent 'activities' through the device menu. But there are two tracks that are dated way old, because I grabbed them from the internet (downloaded someone else's gpx) so I could quickly get routes for trails not on my map. Those are nowhere to be found through the device menu. Maybe I have to delete all tracks? Any idea where they're stored within the file system? If not, no big deal, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.
