Remove unearned step and floor badges

Recently, my family and I rented a bunch of Jeeps and took them over some mountain passes in the Colorado Rockies. It was an amazing time. I had my Fitbit with me.

 

The roads were basically constructed of boulders and therefore pretty ...bouncy. At the end of both days, my Fitbit had registered 100+ flights of stairs. The second day I got my first 150 Flights badge. I would love, love, LOVE to have the badges for these days revoked. I didn't actually earn them and I don't like the idea of having a badge I didn't earn. And 150 flights of stairs is a tough one to earn legitimately. 😞

 

Can you all implement a way on the backend so that users can petition to have unearned badges removed?

Wanting to delete badges that I did not really achieve.
I have the Olympian one for walking 100k in one day - that surely did not happen.
This also racked up other milestone badges on the way that day.
I will never be able to beat my highest step count as there is no way I will ever step 101k in a day.
I am luck to get 2,500 a day.

I've been asking for this feature for over a decade at this point. It's ridiculous that even after Google's acquisition that we still don't have this feature. Not even support will delete them and recommends wiping your account or making a new one. PLEASE enable this.

There should be an option to remove any stats/badges you want, such as step milestone badges, or stats for a specific day. This would allow you to unlock them again.
