How do I completely eradicate strava from my 1030 plus?

I don't use Strava and never will but yet segments is taking up a full page when I pull down the widgets screens from the top of the edge. How can I get rid of that screen and preferably remove Strava from my edge completely? So far I only see tips to remove certain segments but I want it removed. I hope someone figured this out!

    Strava isn't on any Edge unit.  If you link your Strava and Garmin accounts you can sync things like segments across.  If you have never linked a Strava and Gamrin account then you won't have anything from Strava on your Edge unit.  If you have linked accounts in the past unlink them.

    You could be seeing Garmin segments.  You can log into your Garmin account and sort that out.

    Thanks for your response!

    Yes, they are Garmin segments, which I believe are linked to Strava if I interpret what I Googled correctly. I don't use segments and the notification I don't use either. Biking is a way of getting away from distraction ;) Yet there are 2 screens for them when I pull the top of the screen down and I cannot find a way to remove those 2 empty screens. Is there a way of organizing those yourself?

    Garmin segments are nothing to do with Strava segments.  Garmin has its own segment feature.  You can see Garmin Segments in Connect.  Make sure you don't have any starred in Connect.  Delete them from your unit.

    Wongataa's reply is correct, the Garmin Segments and Strava Segments are their own entities and not connected. 

    The below article outlines how to link Strava to Garmin Connect, but those same menus will take you to the place to Disconnect as well. I believe you have already done this, but I wanted to post that link regardless. 

    You could also access the storage of your Edge while connected to your computer and delete your Segments folder to start from scratch.

    Thanks for all your responses, appreciated!

    I still don't know if it is possible to get rid of the empty segments screen altogether, in the pull down screen, where also weather and other widgets live on their own page.

    Can that be removed or not?

    You can disable Widgets and they will not appear

    Customising the Widget Loop

    You can change the order of widgets in the widget loop, remove widgets, and add new widgets.

    1. Select Menu > System > Widget Management.
    2. Select a widget to add or remove it from the widget loop.
    3. Select to change the location of a widget in the widget loop

    Unbelievable that I missed that, being a Garmin running watch and GPS user for as long as they deliver these products. Thanks for the obvious pointer.
