Health data is taking up 3.4GB. I have removed all the data from the individual activity categories but it is not making any impact on the amount of storage used. I cannot do the latest update due to the amount of space this App is taking up

Original Title: Remove health data
iPhone XS, iOS 18
Try this. Go to Settings > Apps > Health > Data Access & Devices. Under Devices, select the devices you are actively sharing health data with, tap and select "Delete All Data from *devicename"
After that, go to Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Storage > Health > Delete Data from iCloud. Wait until the process is finished and you will be sent back to the iCloud menu.
It is a good idea to be connected to WiFi when doing this, as iCloud updates a little randomly if you are using Mobile Data, depending on what settings you have set up.
Finally. Try turning the iPhone off completely, and then turning it back on. Go in and check if your data has disappeared from iCloud. It is a good idea to restart your iPhone once in a while, as this will start a little cleanup.
