Is there a way to bulk remove portions of my health data?

I sometimes leave my watch recording exercise when I am not, mainly if it's the "other". Going through and removing 45 minutes of calorie data is laborious, but I don't want to remove the entire day. Is there a quick way to remove say, 30 minutes of active calories? Is there an app?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

Can I delete all weight data added by a particular source? I used an app called Power Sync to sync over my health data from fitbit as I’ve recently got an apple watch. I was tracking my weight with apple health already however, so syncing has resulting in an erroneous weight entry being added for every day for the last couple of years or so. See the picture below: is there some way I can remove this erroneous data wholesale instead of having to scroll and remove each entry one-by-one?

Is there any way to edit/reset my active calorie burn? I must accidentally turn on an activity while sleeping. Ie. last night while sleeping, my watch captured 7 hours of walking activity. Is there any way to delete/edit those minutes/calories for the day?

Apple Health: How can I add NEGATIVE calories to apple health / workouts? My Apple Watch keeps ridiculously over-attributing calories when I commute by e-bike. How can I correct this? Additional detail: For example, this morning my ride *actually* burned 167 calories (per the power meter on the bike itself), but my Apple Watch credited 418. I would like to just go add a -251 calorie workout to fix this, but the Health app isn't very bright doesn't let me enter a negative number when "adding" an active energy entry. Why do I care? I try pretty earnestly to close my rings and don't want fake credit (but also don't want *no* credit), and I monitor cumulative time spent in different HR zones. I also use a food tracking app that takes active calories into account and this comes out wrong thanks to Apple Watch's bogus entries. I also track total active calories vs total consumed calories on a weekly basis, and this becomes wrong... and I enjoy being able to look at my total miles ridden each month/location heat maps/etc., etc. I've tried riding (a) with telling the watch that I'm doing a bike ride (i.e., starting a workout of type "outdoor cycle") and (b) without telling the watch that I'm doing a bike ride. In the former case, the over attribution is a little higher but at least it *appears* to be in one lump sum. In the latter case, it still adds a bunch of extra active calories (but as a trickle rather than one lump entry). I don't want to have to just take the watch off while cycling -- and what a stupid "smart"watch that would make it! -- because then I don't get messages/notifications, I don't get stand credit, I lose the watch, etc. Please help me find a fix! Apple Watch is otherwise really great, but the embarrassingly bad e-bike handling is ruining it :( Thanks!

No,it has to be done manually in the health app;

In the health app tap on browse at the bottom then tap activity then tap active energy,scroll down to the bottom and tap on show all data,swipe left on the day in question and tap on delete.

Be aware that this deletes all active calories for that day.

Yeah, thanks. I knew how to do it and how laborious that is, that's why I asked if there was a quick way.
