How do I delete data?
(I'm adding this, as it's a question we've gotten in email a time or two)
If you have any data that you DON'T want saved, we want you to have the power to deal with that. You have two options of dealing with "bad" data:
1. Navigate to that app and view the time period (using the cal controls) that you want to to delete it from. So, for example, if you surfed a jobs site yesterday at work, you'd go to yesterday, search around on your full app/site list to find the offending site, view it. On the bottom of the app/site view page is a "bad data?" area where you can nuke it. Another example is that maybe you've been playing Half Life 2 way too much and you want it outa there . Go to any detail view of Half Life 2, click the current month and, voila, the delete function will allow you to nuke the data for the whole month.
2. If this is recurring data that you'd like to delete, why not just add it to your ignore list? This is great for apps like Parallels, 3rd party screensavers that RescueTime might mistakenly decide are apps, etc. Simply navigate to a detail page of the app in question and (in that same "bad data?" area towards the bottom) click the ignore option. Henceforth, the data will literally never make it to our database.

Inappropriate?I do not have a 'nuke it' button. I have several sets of negative time on my account due to me playing with my calendar for some testing at work. However, I cannot seem to get rid of them.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Here is the easiest way I've found to remove unwanted data:
- Log into your RescueTime account
- Go to the "My Data" tab
- Select the day from the calendar control where you have data you wish to delete
- Under the top line graph there is an option to "View Full App/Site List", this will give you a list of all of the applications and web sites for that day
- Click the application or website that you wish to delete data from
- Under the graph on this page is a "Manage zzz Data" section. The right hand side of this section contains a link to "Delete this data".
You can also delete data for a full week or full month, it depends on how you've selected from the date control.
Let me know if this doesn't give you enough details to get to the delete functionality.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?I can navigate using this process to data that contains a "Delete this data" link. However, I cannot do it for the two bits of data in my system where the time is negative.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I've logged this as a bug as well as the negative records. We have a fix that should be put out there in the next couple of days that will prevent negative duration records in the first place.
I will let you know when we have that in place so you can verify that you are able to remove your negative duration records. -
Inappropriate?That'll be good, I have a sufficient large wad of negative data, that I cannot really look at the graphs for this week.
