How to delete multiple old Apple Watch backups?

I set up my Apple Watch a couple of times, because I couldn't set up the Apple Watch passcode (still not). At my last setup, I clicked restore from an existing, instead of set up as new. Then I saw a couple of previous backups from the selection list. Then in the Health app source device list, I also saw these old "Watches" (which it said they were no longer linked). But I couldn't find ways of how I can remove these old backups. Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance.

On the iPhone that the Apple Watch is paired to select Settings then select General then select Manage Storage. Make sure you select the Manage Storage under the STORAGE section and not the ICLOUD section. On the next page you will see Used and Available at the top and after a few seconds all the apps on your phone will appear along with how much storage they are using. Find the Apple Watch app and select it. The next page you are taken to will show all of your watch back-ups. Select Edit and remove the back-ups you no longer need.


Hope this helps Gary.
