How Do I Delete an Apple Watch Workout?
You can’t actually delete the workout on the Apple Watch itself. The Watch doesn’t have a feature to do that.
However, if your Watch is paired to an iPhone, all workout data is saved to the Fitness app (formerly Activity) on your iPhone and you can delete the workout there. Here’s how:
On the iPhone, open the Fitness app. Tap Show More to browse workouts by months and by type until you find the one you want to delete. When you find the workout you want to delete, swipe right to left across the workout to reveal the Delete button (you can also just keep swiping and skip the next step). Tap Delete. A pop-up menu asks you to confirm what you want to delete: Delete Workout & Data: This removes both the record of the workout from your iPhone and any data stored in the Health app generated by the workout. Delete Workout Only: This removes only the workout and leaves any Health information—such as data for meeting your activity goals—untouched. You can also tap Cancel and not delete anything. Once you’ve tapped your choice, the workout is deleted.
