All my activities are gone!

After each cycle, I normally take a copy of the .fit file and store it alongside any other files from my ride like videos, pics, etc.  To do that I plug the Edge 530 into my PC and manually copy the file using Windows Explorer.

Today when I opened up the Edge the only file present was today's!  I would normally have over two years of files there!  What could have happened?

They are still showing in my account on connect.garmin.com. Why would they physically disappear from my device? There is still plenty of storage space.

    So I recovered the .fit files and stored copies on my PC.  I then copied them back to the 530.  As I suspected would happen when I fire up with Garmin Express it reports a Sync error. However, re-connecting back to my PC afterwards the files are still there.

    thanks - didn't spot that.  Off to do a quick ride to record an activity.  Waiting with bated breath to see what happens!

    So far so good. Did a quick activity, Checked it was there via PC. Thumbsup

    Then used Garmin Express. Synced. Activity is now in Connect. Disconnected. Went back in via PC.  Activity is still there.  Thumbsup

    Will try some more activities later.

    I keep as little as possible on my 530, about 10 courses that I use often and only about a weeks rides, When it has all been uploaded, I clear the history. There is no reason to use the 530 as a storage device if the rides are stored elsewhere and eventually, you will run into issues later and if your on a ride, it will be a disaster so always best to keep the device clutter free. I only had 4 activities on my 530 when they was deleted so it cannot have been a limitation problem.

    I have just checked for the latest update, and I am up to date with the latest version with v 7.13.1.0 and no sign of that version. 7.13.2.0

    That all makes sense but equally no reason for them all to disappear without warning.
