Disconnect & delete medical records data

You can turn off medical records syncing and delete data you previously synced at any time. When you disconnect a healthcare provider, medical record syncing with that provider is turned off. New data from that provider stops flowing to the Google Health app.

Disconnecting a provider doesn’t automatically delete data from that provider which previously synced to your Fitbit account.

To erase all medical records data from the Google Health app, go to Disconnect and delete from all healthcare providers.
