Deleting the historical data

[nustak1]

Hi all, I'm trying to delete older data in my account via Manage Data, but the prompt only says "it will take some time if you have a big data" or something like that. Are there other indications that the data is deleted completely? Unlike the exporting of data, where I get notified of the status via email of its completion.

Hello @nustak1 

I don't think you will get a notification. What you will notice is that you won't see data in the Fitbit app and fitbit.com dashboard for the time period you selected or any data for a particular metric (e.g., steps), if you decide to delete all the data.

I recall a user reporting that it took around a day for their years worth of data to be deleted from their account.

FYI - If there are badges associated with the data, like steps, I think those will no longer appear in your account once you delete the data.
