# Imported Data Reappears After Deleting It

When FitTrend [imports](https://www.fittrend.com/support/importing-data/) your data from a [service](https://www.fittrend.com/support/fittrend-supported-services/), it saves a copy of the data in your journal. Currently, FitTrend only reads data from a service. Therefore, it cannot permanently delete imported data, as it does not write changes to the service's servers. However, it will remove the Journal Card from your Journal.

However, the Journal Card will return in certain circumstances:

- [Import manually](https://www.fittrend.com/support/importing-data/) while viewing a specific day in your journal
- If you run an import from the [FitTrend Connect Manager](https://www.fittrend.com/support/fittrend-connect-manager/)
- If you run an import from *Journal > Options* when the removed entry is from the current calendar day.

## How To Permanently Delete Imported Data

Since FitTrend only reads data from services, removing the data from the service's website or app will resolve the problem.

- For [Fitbit](https://www.fittrend.com/support/fitbit/), remove the entry from the Fitbit mobile app
- For [Garmin](https://www.fittrend.com/support/garmin/), remove the entry from the Garmin Connect mobile app
- For [Polar](https://www.fittrend.com/support/polar/), remove the entry from the [Polar Flow](https://flow.polar.com) website or mobile app
- For [Wahoo Fitness](https://www.fittrend.com/support/wahoo/), remove the entry from the Wahoo mobile app
- For [Withings](https://www.fittrend.com/support/withings/), remove the entry from the [Health Mate](https://healthmate.withings.com/) mobile app or [website](https://healthmate.withings.com/)

Once the entry is deleted from the service, FitTrend will no longer import it into your Journal. If this doesn't resolve the problem, please [contact FitTrend](https://www.fittrend.com/support/contact-fittrend/).
