Unable to delete active minutes or stand hours that my watch dreamed up while I was sleeping

I put my series 5 Apple Watch on the charger and set it on my MacBook when I went to bed (won't be doing that again). When I woke up, it says I had 24 standing hours and over 500 minutes of exercise. I've researched how to delete the activity, but it is seemingly impossible on my phone. I click on everything, no where at all does it give me the option to edit or delete my active minutes or stand hours. I am crazy frustrated about this, about to throw both my phone and this watch off a cliff.


HOW can I go into my health app and delete the stand hour and active minutes that magically recorded when I was sleeping? This completely ruins my fitness tracking and I'm upset about it.


You would think Apple would have made their watch and health app so much user friendly, but ever since I got this watch I've been highly disappointed with how it works.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6
