Deleting Data in iOS

This article will show you how to delete data from the app with a special note on deleting tracks with waypoints. When sync/back-up is activated in the Gaia GPS app settings, deleting data from the app will archive it on gaiagps.com. 

If you accidentally deleted something from the app, archived data can be recovered easily. Learn more about how to recover, archive, and unarchive data here.

 Note: If you delete data from your device without first syncing, that data will NOT archive on gaiagps.com and cannot be recovered.
