Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere already but I couldn't find exactly what I am searching for (neither on this forum or anywhere else on the web). I wish to upload an activity with .tcx file size of 31MB to Strava but the limit there is 25MB. How can I crop/reduce file size a little by say removing heart rate and calories data etc., without the use of 3rd party software? Any hidden options on my fitbit dashboard that I am overlooking perhaps? Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

@Scirroco A warm welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for the research done prior to posting. 

I appreciate the details mentioned. It's not possible to edit a .TCX file because you're exporting the data that has been previously tracked. In this case, as you mentioned the best option could be to search for a third-party app that could reduce the file size and then upload it to Strava. 

Hope someone else can share any insight they have. I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
