I am coping a post from CindiL that I found explicitly listed for Venu Sq (which I have); I am sure it applies to other models.
"Are you seeing current information when you open up Connect? Do you…
where is the garmin folder
how did you do it?
I could be wrong, but I believe it's not possible to delete all of your activities at once directly from the Venu SQ, only one at a time. You can easily do it by connecting…
You can see your activities on Connect? If so, it’s telling you the watch memory is full and you need to clear out some activity fit files or remove some watch faces or apps etc. Connect your watch via the cable to a PC. Once you do that, open the Garmin folder, then Activities and remove some of the .fit files.
You probably need to delete any downloaded watch faces and / or apps temporarily as it’s probably trying to download an update to the watch and there isn’t room. The easiest way is just to connect to express, remove fit files and also anything you’ve downloaded to the watch. Once the update is done you can re-load them from the app very easily.
There's an answer from Garmin about this. I think it was not going through Garmin Connect but using Garmin Express. That did it for me. It was wonky getting it done, but eventually 'took'. Be sure and restart the watch after wearing it a few minutes after the update a second time just to be sure you are good to go.
I've been in touch with Garmin support. So far, I've tried everything that's been recommended in this thread so far, and it still hasn't helped. I'm pasting the instructions into here incase they can help someone else:
I've now moved on to copying the entire "GARMIN" folder from my watch to my desktop and sending a .zip file to product support for further help. I'll make sure to keep this up to date with my findings. Might be time for a new watch though, I've only had this one for 3 months and it's a hassle.
It worked for me! Thank you!!! This message (memory low) was appearing in Gamin Express while syncing.
I am in exactly the same position you are in - memory low then memory full - the watch doesn't even show the time any more and is completely useless. I have had my watch only a few months as well and have deleted my activities from the watch on my laptop regularly and have uploaded to connect every day.... I have now deleted the two files showing above and will see what happens next. Thanks for posting. Can't say I've enjoyed my experience with this watch at all.

"Are you seeing current information when you open up Connect? Do you see you latest activities? If so, you are syncing, it’s just that your watch’s memory is full. If you are seeing current activities in Connect then you can remove old activity files *.fit from the watch by connecting it with the charging cable to a pc and removing old .fit files under the activity folder. It normally should do this on it’s own but once this has happened to me before also.
You can also remove some watch faces and/or content if you have downloaded those from the Connect IQ store to free up memory."
I would add that you do not need to download any software to do this. Use the charging cable to connect your watch to a PC. Find the device in the PC's "folders". Once opened there, open "Activities". Delete files that have dates as part of the names or ".fit" files, which is probably everything.
Of note, this started happening while I was out hiking for a week. The annoying popup reminder became more frequent as the month went on.
I've just been getting similar message. I went into setting on watch and there was an option to delete all activities. I did this after first ensuring all were synced to garmin connect app. They have now all gone from watch but are still on app and as yet message has not reappeared
