Former Member over 5 years ago

I have a Garmin Instinct watch.

I want to update to the 7.00 version (28 april,2020), but when i copie the files, i get a warning that there is not enough space on my device.

What you can also easily do is to delete the language files of languages that you do not use. That will save you a lot of space on the watch. Just look for the directory containing files on the device…

Lol

what kind of files or maps are possible for delete. Without not taken critical files.

Without not taken critical files.

The best is usually deleting old activity files, and unused workouts, or schedules. They are in the folders //GARMIN/Activity, //GARMIN/Workouts, //GARMIN/Workouts/Schedule

.. also if you have too many Courses, you can clean up the folder //GARMIN/Courses, remove old screenshots from //GARMIN/SCRNSHOT, and more

What you can also easily do is to delete the language files of languages that you do not use. That will save you a lot of space on the watch. Just look for the directory containing files on the device with names such as english.ln3, german.ln3, danish.ln3, etc., and delete the ones that are not needed.

What does the map show? Is the recorded track right? Was the GPS working correctly? Is your EPO file up-to-date? Did you update it over USB+Garmin Express? Did you reboot the watch, after the update?
