I’m trying to delete some files from my Garmin training center. I can delete them fine, but every time I reload the software, they reappear. Any ideas?
maybe also delete from the device?

The user data is saved as a binary data file (.bin ) in Settings\All Users\Application Data*GARMIN**Training Center*. Being Windoze (assuming you are using Windoze) this may not be deleted when you delete the software. Hence when you relaod the software the old data file is restored.
If however you mean it keeps appearing when you connect your Garmin to your computer, then as noted, you need to delete the file from the Garmin unit, before uploading.
I’m on a Mac.
It’s NOT reloading from my device, as the files appear even when my watch is not connected, so it’s coming from some sort of cache.
Training Center on a Mac? You’re a masochist. I wanted that too, right until they delivered it.
Looks to me like you’ll need to bone up on your SQL.
vitriol:Training Center jpowers$ ls -ltr
total 13512
-rw-r–r-- 1 jpowers jotpowers 6917120 Jul 26 16:35 Training Center.gtc
vitriol:Training Center jpowers$ file Training\ Center.gtc
Training Center.gtc: SQLite database (Version 3)
vitriol:Training Center jpowers$ pwd
/Users/jotpowers/Library/Application Support/Garmin/Training Center
vitriol:Training Center jpowers$
I found it by attempting an update and then doing:
vitriol:~ jpowers$ find ./ -mtime -1 | grep -i garmin
HTH.

I’m not sure I care that much about a couple rogue files! 
I’m with you there. If I were a DBA maybe I’d be willing to do it, but failing that, it takes
me too long to struggle through SQL to do something like that.
Heck, TC is so bad I’d rather read the workouts off the device and put them into the ST Training
Log than go through the trouble of TC on the Mac. On the PC it’s much better, but that’s off
in the other room. Which is why sometimes I’ll plug it in there and then just RDP into it so
I don’t have to leave my desk for the data input.

Check out Garmin connect http://connect.garmin.com/. It’s much more user friendly.
Get in touch with Phil on this. He loves Macs and plays with a lot of Garmin files. I’m sure he’ll have good input.
can I ask why you are using Training Center? I thought it was not helpful for much. So I solely use Garmin Connect. Am I missing out on something?
Thanks.

Can someone please make a viable ANT+ plugin for iPhone? The Ascent interface is awesome looking.
I dunno. It seemed easy enough. It’s right there on my computer. I don’t use the GTC for much. Did I run the pace I was supposed to? Yes? Good. What were my km splits? Ok, good. And done. Don’t need anything fancy to tell me that.
