How can you remove a data source from the health app?

I don't see there is any way to do this.

Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness

There you can prevent a data source from accessing your health data.

I don't believe you can completely remove it.

Another thing you can do is edit the source list and tap the checkmark as shown here (at the bottom):
Manage Health data from multiple sources on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support

Just figured this out...
Re-install the app (if not still installed).
Hold the screen to get the delete option. If you delete the app itself (I did 'remove data' but it shouldn't matter), the 2nd prompt should be to delete the data from the Health app. If you delete the health app data, it will depopulate as a source inside Health.
