How do I remove routes from my Bolt V1 ? two routes are showing on the head unit but only one on the Elemnt app on my phone for some reason??? I have tried all the suggestions I can find on line using the app or directly from the head unit but nothing works. There must be a simple way to do this without having to pull my hair out trying to find a solution. Cheers
Where is the unwanted route coming from? Underneath the name of each route, you should see the distance and the source of the route. You need to remove the route from the source - only Wahoo-sourced routes can be removed from the ELEMNT companion app. See photo below for an example where I have some routes coming from Wahoo and some from Strava.

I have two, one says wahoo underneath and the other says Strava. The issue is that neither of these two are my rides but presumably downloaded from files either sent to me or downloaded from a ride of someone i follow. How do I do this please? thanks
The route that is synced to your Bolt from Strava is coming from the My Routes section in your Strava account. You can access this from Dashboard → My Routes in the web version of Strava:
Then select the three dots on the route you want to delete, and click Delete:
Finally, go back to your Bolt and re-sync the routes. The Strava route should disappear.
To remove a Wahoo route, open the ELEMNT Companion App, and connect it to your device.
On the Workout page, scroll down to the “Choose a route” option and open that.
To delete a Wahoo route, swipe the route to the left and confirm that you want to delete it. Then re-sync the routes on your Bolt and the Wahoo route should disappear.
All ok now thanks

This doesn’t work on my Bolt V2. I have 3 routes (2 of which are duplicates) which are listed as “Wahoo” on the Bolt but are not on the Elemnt App. I have tried syncing many times but they are not removed from the Bolt. Any thoughts?
Can anyone assist please. I have a Wahoo Bolt V2 and I can’t seem to remove redundant route files. I upload new route plans using the Wahoo App and they instantly appear on my Bolt V2 device but although I have removed unwanted routes from the Wahoo App they remain on the Bolt device. I have completed a full factory reset which seemed to work but the routes have re-appeared on the Bolt device. When I try to sync the Bolt device it continues to display not synched. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Following my previous posting I continued to dig about with the app and device and I think I may have found the solution. DO NOT SYNC your device. I removed the device from the phone and removed the phone connection from the device (not a full factory reset). Reconnected the phone and device via blue tooth and only the routes with my app appeared. If I then proceed to sync the device using the sync device option within the Wahoo device it brough back all my previous routes. It appears the fix is don’t sync your Bolt device using the sync option within the device menu. I hope this helps.
Regarding the routes that have reappeared, how were they originally created? e.g. are they on Strava, Komoot, RWGPS or some other platform that you are also syncronising with via the app?
I second that, if so then they have to be removed from the app that created them for example, if created on Strava you would need to remove them from “my routes” on there then they will go off the bolt
