Not possible with current firmware version, unfortunately. You could share your feature request with Garmin

Re: Clearing Recent Finds
Note that there is actually a way to do it if you REALLY want to get rid of your Recent Finds, but it's drastic. That would be to reset the unit to it's factory default settings. I know, not the best solution but like I said, if you really want them gone, this will do it.
Unless you have a full backup of all .fit files on the unit and you feel like redoing many of the unit's settings, I wouldn't do it.
Settings > System > Reset > Reset All Settings

Unfortunately no change in the new firmware 8.08. There is no option to delete previous results.

Re: Clearing Recent Finds
If you have reported it as a suggestion to Garmin, it may already be in the pipeline but of course, only time will tell...and that's assuming that it's actually being implemented.Discover wrote: Thu Mar 12, 2026 11:01 am Unfortunately no change in the new firmware 8.08.

You may also want to contact Garmin support directly to make it known to them in a more direct approach.
Again, reporting it as an issue or suggestion is the best thing you can do.

Garmin Support answer:
To clear " Recent Finds" you should hold down on the name of the recent find -> select the 3 lines > click " remove ".
But unfortunately I do not have the above mentioned option.
