Deleting spurious data on libra 2 app

My first trial sensor failed after 10 hours and most of that time the readings showed BG of less than 3.5 despite having a sizeable meal. I now have a replacement working fine but the data remains on the app and is skewing the trends. Is it possible to delete spurious data or have it deleted by Abbot?

I know it doesn’t really matter in the long run but as it’s so clearly incorrect, I’d prefer to remove it from the dataset.
 
Why does it matter. Who sees it? These things are for our personal benefit and as long as you make a note to lay out the issues for the hospital clinic that’s fine by me.

I haven't used a Libre for a while, but, unless it has changed, you are able to download the data to view in a spreadsheet. You can delete whatever you like in your spreadsheet.

Just a thought.
 
Unfortunately not and last time i had a dodgy low reading sensor was the fortnight before my Endo visit. They always print the previous fortnight on the Libre report and of course were worried I was hypo all the time … which i had to explain look at the TIR over the 3 Months of Data. The Endo seemed to understand but then by the end of the appointment finished with something along the lines of “lets see if we can reduce the amount of lows you are having”. ‍♂️

One of the reasons I chose not to share my Libre data with my team. The other reason is that Libre reads consistently lower than blood for me by 0.8 to about 2 mmol/l, which means it thinks that I'm low a lot of the time.
The calibrated alternative app shows me as low 3% of the time, still more than it is but at least acceptable to my endo.
 
As I've said in at least one other thread, for me outside the 3.9 to 10 range the libre2 readings tend to be lower than BM if low, and higher if high. If they are within the 5 to 10 range I do not usually fingerprick.
