+kathysgeek Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 While developing my second lab I iterated with test versions a number of times. Each time I created the test, scanned it into the app, tested it and then deleted the test on the builder. However, now I have a dozen test instances in the app on my phone. How can these be deleted? I have experience using adb (Android Debug Bridge) and can remove files if instructed where they reside. However, I was hoping there was a way to do it inside the app. That would be more beneficial to the non-technical audience. Quote Link to comment
+barefootjeff Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yes, it's pretty easy. On the main page of the AL app, where it shows the overall map, tap on the three bars and circles thing in the top right corner which will bring up a list of adventures. Find the tests in that list and swipe left on them with your finger to remove them. Don't worry about slippages as only test ALs can be deleted that way. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+kathysgeek Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 That was simple and should have been obvious to me. However, real labs cannot be removed in same way so I did not try. Thanks barefootjeff! Quote Link to comment
+Elliotts4 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Yes, thank you from us as well. Just launched our first adventure and had the same question! Quote Link to comment
+katsc Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I am having the same issue with a Lab I just created. On the web, it shows as public. However, I have two tests on my phone that I cannot delete. I am unable to swipe to delete it. Does this work differently on an iPhone? Quote Link to comment

I wonder if the problem could be that you didn't delete the tests before making it public? Every test should be deleted before you create a new test so there shouldn't be two. Quote Link to comment
+WLCK Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I'm having the same issue. I deleted the test-app from the builder before removing it from the Android app. Now it's just stuck. Is there a way to remove this leftover from the app please? Quote Link to comment

I think it's done a little differently now. https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/topic/390579-release-notes-adventure-lab®-app-search-and-test-copy-deletion-improvement-may-30-2023/ Quote Link to comment
+WLCK Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Swiping doesn't work anymore as confirmed by the link @Max and 99 provided. However, the way of deleting as explained in that link doesn't work either. When I try to open the AL as explained, it just spins for a while and then returns to the overview. Quote Link to comment
+WLCK Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Solved by removing all data and cache from the Android app. Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty sure I deleted the test before I made my adventure public but now both icons are showing on the map and I can't get rid of the test one. I cleared the phone cache, but no change.

+200_laps Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 a friend sent me a link to a "draft" version of his A/L for me to review; now I can't delete it from my (Android) phone; tried swiping (which had worked in the past); but now nothing happens except a short spinning circle display Quote Link to comment
+Max and 99 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) I haven't been able to delete my test lab for months. Nothing I do gets it off the map. Android. Edited February 13 by Max and 99 Quote Link to comment
+SurdiVisio Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Likewise. Even logged myself out from AL app, let my partner log there - but still there. In the end, I uninstalled the AL app from my iPhone - thus flushing the data cache. Once reinstalled, all is good. All the test (deleted via website) ALs are no longer there. Just the public AL that I've created. Lovely, but yes a cumbersome workaround. Quote Link to comment
+BigA800 Posted Saturday at 03:39 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:39 AM I agree with the previously posted comments! There is nothing that seems to work to delete the test copies. Several of us shared test copies to make sure everything was functioning correctly. Now that all of the caches are public. I cannot delete the test copies and they continue to show on my screen. Is there any way to resolve this? Quote Link to comment
