Hi BigSur17,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand that you'd like to erase an error in workout data in the Health app on your iPhone. I know it's important to keep this information accurate; I'm happy to help. Take a look below for the steps to manually adjust data in the Health app:


"View details in the health categories

Tap Browse at the bottom right to display the Health Categories screen, then do one of the following:

    • Tap a category. (To see all categories, scroll up and down.)
    • Tap the search field, then type the name of a category (such as Nutrition) or a specific type of data (such as Protein).

To view details about any of the data, tap . Depending on the data type, you may be able to do the following:

    • See weekly, monthly, and yearly views of the data: Tap the tabs at the top of the screen.
    • Manually enter data: Tap Add Data in the top-right corner of the screen.
    • Move a data type to Favorites on the Summary screen: Turn on Add to Favorites. (Scroll down if you don’t see Add to Favorites.)
    • View which apps and devices are allowed to share data: Tap Data Sources & Access below Options. (Scroll down if you don’t see Options.)
    • Delete data: Tap Show All Data below Options, swipe left on a data record, then tap Delete. To delete all data, tap Edit, then tap Delete All.
    • Change the measurement unit: Tap Unit below Options, then select a different unit."
