Wipe Your Fitbit Clean
Factory resetting your Fitbit completely removes all apps, data, and other information saved on the device. On devices that support contactless payments, this also includes all payment information, along with your credit card and debit card details. If you own an older Fitbit device—not on this list like the Flex or Surge—you won’t find a reset option on your device. Hence, to wipe your data off of it, you simply need to disconnect it from your Fitbit account, and it’ll clear everything from the device and reset it to factory settings.
