My fit bit versa lite is showing a red X and the message: Data not cleared Sync & try again message. I cant get passed this screen. It wont sync when in the app either shows a red exclamation point. I have deleted the Fitbit app on my phone and unpaired it from bluetooth. I'm on a Samsung s9.

it worked. For others if you tried other devices you also need to unpair from those devices as well

I this same issue with my versa lite earlier today. Scenario that initiated this issue for myself: I had the watch in my front pocket while I was cleaning off black walnuts; knocking of the husks with a hammer on a concrete floor, then in a bucket of water with a large drill, which would have induced a large amount of vibrations to the watch. Not sure if this maybe overloaded the watches sensors or if it was just coincidence. Just informing readers of what I was doing just prior to noticing the big red X and can’t sync issues.
I got through this by doing the following steps:
steps on my iPhone 11xr
1) I had the versa app opened in the background.
2) in the iPhone settings for Bluetooth, I told the iPhone to forget the device. (For whatever reason, the phone STILL listed the device after supposedly forgetting it. I left it there and only did the forget device the one time)
3) I then went into the versa app and did a manually force refresh, by swiping down at Home Screen. This action started the whole process of it then requiring me to repair the watch via Bluetooth, then to put the watch on the charger so the app can perform the downloading/setting up/setting of the watch. I did get some sync notice out something similar after all that had finished, with the watch back on my wrist, but there was an ‘okay’ button on the screen. I just pushed that and continued on.
4) after that all finished, I went back to the app and did another forced refresh. I got a clock face warning then. I was using the new ‘SpO2 Signature’ clock face
i went into the app: account/versa lite/clock faces, and choose a different clock face, the ‘Trace’ clock face. It took it a minute to update the watch with the switch, but did finish.
5) I then switched the watch back to the SpO2 Signature clock face.
6) at this point, everything seems to be back to normal with the watch and all my data is still intact.

This is correct and it worked out for me BUT with a very important detail. Make sure that fitbit device is not connect to any other device such us the computer. It failed out several times until I realized it was also connected to my computer. When I unpaired the Computer, it worked out just fine. I posted this comment because I did not see it and it is a very important step.

I have the same problem with my Ionic. I even removed the app and downloaded it again. I did unpair it totally and removed the Fitbit from my app. Now I try to add the device, and it just can find the device. Both being on charge, I have tried everything. This is not first time I struggle with syncing, but before I had an unsupported device - now I have a device on the list, but it is NOT helping. I am extremely disappointed in Fitbit.

N8teGee:
As I am having the exact problem > Red X with the statement "data not cleared, sync and try again" >> how exactly do you "remove the device from your fit bit app on the phone?"
I have a vesa lite and this just happened after having no problems these last several years. I removed my FB app from my phone (Iphone11) then reinstalled it from the App store, and nothing has changed. And according to my iphone my versa lite is connected with Bluetooth, but it also seems to work when it is not connected to blue tooth?
Any suggestions

Having the same trouble, then I go to pw hell, put in a new password, they say it’s not correct, so use the same new one, they say pw has already been used. Why the heck is this so hard... Been going at it for over four hours!
Exactly, me, I’ve done it over five times! Sick of it!
Did all that and it did not work... plus now can’t get into account... in password hell.

@StacieM05 Did you get it working by following the instructions here? My guess is it is to do the overflow of the (code) stack. Let the battery drain completely by holding down the button repeatedly for 10-15 sec, then put it on the charger & follow the instructions posted here.
If all else fails try support guys they have all the tools to assist you.
Good luck & keep us posted.

Hi @N8teGee, I tried this method but it didn't work. Here's what I did, I removed the device from the fitbit app and from the Bluetooth device list on my phone, and then tried setting it up again, it's now stuck on a white fitbit logo and isn't doing anything. The app seems to be downloading an update, but everytime the update stops and I get the "Data not cleared" message back on my watch.
Please help.

Fixed. Tried rest, nothing worked. Finally tried USB adapter. Put Fitbit on charger/data cable, plugged into phone with the adapter. Restarted Fitbit, and finally got past error screen. I would still recommend trying other steps first, clear cache, remove from app and Bluetooth, then plug directly to phone.
