How to delete sport apps, created by copying built-in sport apps?

As far as I know, for some reason there is no way, how to delete sport Aplications which you created by copying built-in sport apps!

When you choose "Remove App", aplication is just hiden under "+ Add" option.

Even if you connect your watch to PC (in USB mode MTP) and in folder GARMIN \ SPORTS delete specific sport application, after you restart a watch, the deleted application is back. Why? It probably could be solved only by factory reset, but it is a step, that I don't want to do because of such trifle.

Don't do factory reset. It does not help with copied built-in sport apps. I had created 3 but they stayed in "add" section after factory reset.

If you would wrote in your first post that an app has to be deleted from the "Activities and Apps" menu, I could understand you! OK, you wrote it ... :-D

But as you guessed, I wasn't in that…

Wow, omg, thank you - for the life of me I could not understand why copied apps that I "removed" from my watch still showed up in Garmin Express, (but could not be removed/deleted from there). Was limiting new apps and data fields I could install and was driving me nuts.
