Memory full - Venu Sq

If you get a diagnostic "memory full - Need to sync to Garmin Connect" and you have already synced to Garmin Connect, this is how to fix it

Make sure that you synced all your activities with Garmin Connect

Connect your watch to your laptop USB port (I use a PC) using the charging cable

The Garmin device will show up under the "This PC" folder, as if a disk drive

Click on the Garmin device to open the folder

Under the Activities folder, either move the files present out of there (to save a copy to your PC) or delete all the files in this folder

Garmin - Please document this !

Yep this has happened to me once before, so I had to delete everything in the folder (it was already synced to Garmin). It's strange because its supposed to clean up its own files as the memory fills up but sometimes seems to fail at this task.

Thanks -- The documentation needs to be searchable (Can find via search) on keywords for the device name and the diagnostic message wording. That way, folks like me can find it !! Thanks

Thanks - Could you make this searchable (able to find it) if someone types Venu and the diagnostic message. Thanks

Thanks for this. I'd like to add a feature request to ask Garmin to just remove activities after they sync.

This is helpful and I hope it works! I have found my SQ to be a terrible watch so far and wish I had paid the extra $50 for the Garmin Swim 2! It tells me memory is low almost every day, despite syncing regularly (and also has multiple other problems).

Thanks for the info, y'all. Fingers crossed this fixes it! :)

Thanks so much! Very helpful and easy to fix.

Has happened to me multiple times. Garmin please fix so that it automatically removes old activities. What makes this most frustrating is I might be on a week long hike with no access to a PC then the memory is full and I cannot record my activity - very frustrating!

Thanks for the information. It seems to have worked!
