If you use an Apple device, scroll down and select “Remove and confirm”. But if you use an Android device, tap the trash can and confirm you want to remove and unpair your Versa
Navigate to your Versa’s Bluetooth settings and check if it is listed among the connected devices. If it is, select the option to “forget” the device.

2. Change your Fitbit Versa’s clock face

Another way to get your Watch and Fitbit app to sync is to temporarily change your device’s clockface. This helps to refresh the connection.

To change your Versa’s clock face

Open the Fitbit app on the mobile device paired to your Fitbit Versa
Tap the Today tab, and then your profile picture or icon at the top
Choose your Versa from the account list
Tap “clock faces”
Select “All Clocks” and choose a new clockface from the options
Install the selected clock face and set the permissions
Wait until the clockface downloads to your Versa. Once this is complete, tap your Versa’s screen and see if you can navigate without seeing the “data not cleared” error message.

3. Re-pair your Fitbit to your phone’s Bluetooth

Navigate to Settings > Bluetooth to open the Bluetooth settings on your phone.
From the list of connected Bluetooth devices, select your Versa.
Select the option to “Forget” this device. This will unpair your Fitbit Versa from your phone’s Bluetooth connection.
Do not attempt re-pairing your Fitbit through your phone’s Bluetooth settings. Instead, do that through the Fitbit app if you want the pairing process to work correctly.
Open the Fitbit app on your mobile device.
Tap your profile picture or icon and choose from the Fitbit device
YOU will receive a notification to start the Bluetooth pairing process and follow the directions to set this up again.
If you don’t get a notification, tap the Notification settings in the Fitbit app to commence the pairing process.
After successfully re-pairing via Bluetooth, wait until your device automatically syncs with the Fitbit app or simply tap Sync Now to initiate the syncing process.

Select Show System apps
From the list, select and tap Bluetooth.
