How do I delete health data in iCloud .


I turned off the health data in iCloud so that inaccurate data would not affect fitness apps on watch and phone.

However, now I want to turn iCloud back on in the health app so that I can share it with other apps. I cannot find a way to delete the health data.


I would be very grateful of any help.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Thanks @tygb. I don’t need to delete from phone - done that. I need to delete from iCloud storage.


My phone is data free but when I want to sync health data across apps I need to use iCloud. And in iCloud is the old data in a file that I cannot find a way to delete.


As soon as I reinstate iCloud it uploads the old data into apps. Very annoying!


At the moment I am thinking the only way is to move all my iCloud files to a non iCloud location where I can better manipulate them, remove health backed up data and then pop it all back into iCloud. I really don’t want to do this so I am hoping there is a way to delete the health backup from iCloud so that I can reinstate iCloud.


Any ideas?
