Deleting your data

Removing tracking items

In More > Tracking, open an existing item and use the trash button in its edit toolbar to delete it. Read the confirmation before continuing. Custom field deletion also deletes its recorded values; Major Event deletion also deletes its photos. Used moods can be hidden instead of deleted. In My Conditions, use the visible Remove button beside the condition. In a symptom detail editor, the trash button removes that detail when you save the symptom. In an existing taper plan editor, the trash button stops the plan in Tended and restores the original recorded dose; it does not delete the medication.

Tended has destructive controls for removing photos or all app data. Use them deliberately: both actions affect your health journal and cannot be undone.

Back up first

Before deleting anything, open More › Data › Backup & Restore and create a backup if you might want a copy later. CSV export is useful for spreadsheets, but Backup & Restore is the complete restorable copy.

Delete All Photos

Delete All Photos permanently removes photo attachments from journal entries and Major Events. Your text entries and structured data remain, but the images are gone. If iCloud Sync is on, photo deletion also syncs to iCloud and your other devices.

Delete All Data

Delete All Data permanently removes all journal entries, Major Events, symptoms, medications, photos, settings, and related Tended data from this device. If iCloud Sync is on, the deletion also syncs to iCloud and your other devices.

After deleting

Other devices may need time to catch up with the deletion, especially if they were offline. Do not use these controls for temporary cleanup or hiding old items; archive individual symptoms, medications, triggers, foods, activities, or custom fields instead when you want history preserved.
