1 Recovering a deleted run
I just finished a 5k and I think I was suffering oxygen deprivation because I accidentally deleted my run off my watch!!!! Is there anyway to retrieve this????
Is this a good question?

I doubt that it could be recovered.
Still you could look and see for yourself. If you plug it in to a computer and navigate to the drive using Windows Explorer or Finder, you will see a Garmin folder. Inside that folder is an Activities folder. This is where the activity .fit files are stored.

That only works if it's been recorded - not if you ignored the run by accident - for some reason, it seems to automatically go to 'do you want to save this run' & then 'no' (even though the 'yes' is far bigger on the screen). I wish I hadn't bought this Garmin now, as I keep losing runs. My old Garmin didn't work this way & I never lost a run by accident. It drives me insane - some runs you want to save for the route or because you ran a PB & losing them is so frustrating. I must have lost about 10 runs in 9 months, which isn't a huge number given how much I run, but I have nearly lost about half of all my runs, because it will auto-pause or auto go to the 'do you want to delete this?' screen.
Agreed! I just deleted the fastest of my 400m reps so now will have to repeat them at another session. Not an intuitive design feature.
Same here - what a ridiculous mechanism to make that even possible.

It drives me mad that my vivoactive 3 doesn’t have a screen lock. Normally it deletes any activity I do in the rain because the rain sets the screen off. Even if I cover it with my coat, the rain on my coat can delete an activity. Today I went out & it wasn’t a great run, because it’s 115 degrees here, but I ran a new route & wanted to record it, but putting my flask back in my bag deleted it. I wish there were a way of a) recovering things (like a trash function) or b) not deleting activities but deciding not to sync them. That would be a far better way of managing it.

Me too have discarded today an activity because of the rain. Impossible to recover it...

On the tour now. Stopped to have lunch and put the activity on pause. 10 mins later, the recorded activity vanished. Anyone know how I can retrieve it
