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.
