I can not remove workout types from the list that is on my watch

When I open the workout app and I select a workout type I wish to remove and I try to swipe left I do not get the red X to delete the workout type

Apple Watch Series 11, watchOS 26

When I tap the goals and targets button on the workout screen, I believe I should see "Categories:" and two options "goals" and "custom"


Any workouts under Goals or Custom also appear in the fitness app on the phone


however, for "Indoor Walk" I have a 2nd group "Your Workouts" above the "categories" group.. There are 3 workouts listed here. These work outs do NOT appear in the phone fitness app.


If I use the pencil button to edit these 3 workouts, I can alter the target (i.e change the distance) but pressing the back button to save does nothing. I can also press the "delete" button but it does nothing, the workout remains


If I restart the watch, these workouts don't appear until about a minute after the watch has restarted


There's no way to edit or remove these three workouts, and the don't appear in the phone app


I've removed the "Indoor Walk" category, but if I add it back in... the workouts come back...


This feels like a bug


Worse, it feels like its going to be a watchOS 26 bug that is not going to be fixed... I even feels a *bit* like a watchOS 27 bug (just like having wallet cards I couldn't remove from my watch lasted for about 4 watchOS versions)
