I want to remove my old apple watch. I unpaired it and removed it withe Watch app. It no longer shows up in the watch app. However, it still shows up as a source in Apple Health. Is there a way to remove it there?

if you delete it in the Health app you will lose all health data associated with that watch - is that what you want?

Settings -> Click your name at the top -> Scroll down and find the watch -> Remove from Account

The watch is gone there but still shows in Health.

Yes, how do I do that?

If it’s not on your iCloud I see no reason to remove data.

I did remove the data. Now I would like it removed from health so I don’t see it.

I think you have to go into every section where the data might be and remove it ...

There was someone a year or so ago who deleted their entire health data, you might want to search in the forum.

After deleting health data that came from this old watch it no longer shows.

Thanks for the help.

I think that health data is sync'd, so deleting data on your phone will delete the data in iCloud (assuming you have that setup), or it might get re-added during sync 🙂
I have no reason to fiddle with this, on my phone almost 9 years of health tracking with AW take 2.9GB, not worth to delete it, for me.
