- Faulty Connection: A weak or unstable connection between your Fitbit Versa 2 and your phone can hinder data transfer and cause clearing issues.
- Outdated Software: Just like any other device, your Fitbit Versa 2 needs regular software updates to function optimally. An outdated software version could be the root cause of your data clearing problems.
- Full Storage: If your Fitbit Versa 2’s internal storage is full, it might not be able to clear data as expected.
