Saving my runs strange on Garmin Connect

Good morning everyone, I hope I posted in the right section, I have owned a Garmin Edge 530 for 2 years and only now in the last 3 outings the Garmin saves my bike ride with 2 partials on Garmin Connect and consequently on Strava?
In truth, the 2 previous to this one saved me a total and a partial ride.
I will start by saying that I have not touched anything on the device

Thanks to everyone for the answers

    My guess, since you have not touched anything on the device I suspect the memory is full. This leads to saving errors as it tries to purge old activity files to make room for new ones. So my suggestion is to free up memory space on the Edge by removing all of the old activity files. Plug your Edge 530 into a computer via the USB connection and locate the "Activities" folder in the Edge file system. Move all of these files over to your computer hard drive or where ever you would want to archive these activity files. Or just delete them if they are not important. All of these activities will remain on the Garmin Connect site and Strava, you are simply removing the files that live on the Edge. If you are using an Apple computer, I believe there is a final step like Empty Trash or something that needs to happen to complete the deletion.

    Ok, thank you very much, I will try to do as you said. But the connection to the PC shows me this space: 7.13 GB available on 14.3 GB Otherwise I will do a total reset of the device

    The "total memory available" is misleading.  The 530 can't access the total memory for activities.  Definitely start with suggestion.  Also remember you are limited to 100 courses (routes) saved, so it's a good time to go into that folder whilst plugged into a computer and delete any you don't need saved to the device.  As he said, these don't delete them from GC or Strava, just the device, so in my mind no reason to save them elsewhere.
