Remove activity (delete) - bug in fw

Hi, I have a problem with remove activity which I created. I found this help:

From the watch face, hold MENU.
Select Settings > Activities & Apps.
Select an activity.
Select an option:
- To remove an activity from your list of favorites, select Remove from Favorites.
- To delete the activity from the apps list, select Remove.

If I want to delete activity from the apps list I select Remove but activity still stay at app list :-(

Activity can only be removed from the favorites list. In the list where activities are created / copied / choose I don't know how to delete them.

Some idea? THX

But if we don't need this activity again there is a way to remove it permanently?

Yes, you understand me. I tried to create different activities and I tried everything that can be set up. Now I have a really long list of activities with a lot of duplicates and none of it can be deleted…

You will use the 2nd option listed in your Instinct manual: It will delete the activity from your list that you see when you quick press your top right GPS button. You can always add that activity back later if needed again.

In case we create multiple activities that we don't need we have to manage them forever?

I can read but the option doesn't work, so I ask here.

When I use the 1st option from the manual the activity is removed from the favorites.

When I use the 2nd option from the manual nothing happens.

hi,

insert a 'watch restart' into your steps, see if this helps

can not find the post, but it was somewhere in the fenix6 forum talk about activity apps

personally after selecting 'Remove' I power off the watch, I wait some time (2-3-4 minutes) and then power on.

Thanks for the advice I tried to restart the watch but no effect. The activities are still on the watch.

I tried it several times but unfortunately no effect :-(

long time ago on a FR620 you could only get rid of these apps by restore to default

Thank you, this is a last chance how to delete it. But I think it's a bug and it would be good if Garmin fixed it.
