However I am windows 7 and I cannot find the files in my documents only the folders i have created. Any clues on how to find it in windows 7 I really need to clean it up as it slows the computor up totally.

Badger Aug 2013 2:27pm, 13 Aug 2013 3,823 posts	Quote Pin Badger Deleting stuff off the watch might speed up its sync with the computer, but it won't make the transfer to Fetch any better for one of the wireless watches, because this depends on the amount of fit files already stored on the computer. (If you have to connect your watch with a USB cable to transfer data, then it will work faster if you delete runs off the watch - 305, 210 and so on). Lak, I have a Windows 7 PC and the files are in: C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\Devices\3851129734\Activities as .fit files and C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\Devices\3851129734\History as .tcx files You'll need to set Windows to show hidden folders before you can see them, which is possibly why you can't find them. This link will help you with that: windows.microsoft.com When you can see them, move all the .fit and .tcx files which are older than, say, a month into another folder in your home folder to back them up, and try your upload again.

I'd expect to get 10 runs in while I'm there for about 75 miles if I don't just let things slide. With it coming up to the second half of the month I can't bear the thought of all the bugs accumulating at home.

Thanks Badger Moleshome - move your home its worth it for 10 runs. I didnt move my home for a weekend figured I could plant flowers instead. Happy hols and once again thanks badger
Little Nemo - slightly broken Aug 2013 3:28pm, 13 Aug 2013 3,115 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo - slightly broken Fetchpoint dilemma. I'm on holiday for a week and I'll probably do a couple of runs and a couple of walks while I'm there. Is it worth moving my home point? Or would I be better off just getting flower points? I won't do a lot of mileage so I'm undecided!!!

If I had changed my home I would have had trouble dragging people up and down all the roads and alleys to get the points!
