Uh-oh. You've worked out so much that you can now crush coal into diamond between your thighs. You drop your Fitbit, but it falls between your legs, so you squeeze to stop it from falling. Bye-bye Fitbit. What I'm getting at here is that your Fitbit is busted and you have no need for it in your Fitbit app anymore. Here's how to delete it:

2. Tap the menu button. It's in the top left of the screen and looks like this: ☰

3. Tap Devices.

   

4. Tap and hold on the device that you want to delete.
5. Tap unpair.

6. Tap unpair again.

   

That's it. Your device is removed. If you had synced said device just before removal and realize you want to re-pair it at a later date, that data will be there waiting for you.
