On  my phone the 'record track' button appears as a black square with a black circle inside it, not a red one. If I press it to record a track it turns to a solid black square. I must have pressed it by mistake because it had been recording for about 10 days or more. I didn't know it was recording but I can see the start date and route stats. It had logged almost 200 km but most of this was a 'starburst' around where I live. I also noticed my battery was running down faster than usual.

When I discovered what was happening, I tried to stop it recording. Perhaps I succeeded but I was unable to delete the track. It said "Is this the active track?" on a red background and then it changed to another message something like "disable active track [follow in waypoint mode]" again on a red background. I'm not sure what that means.

I am still confused about the Tracks menu item that says "clean Track" and I wonder if it should be "clear Track" or, maybe better, "remove Track". Just a thought.

Thanks again for your help.

I tried tapping the 'record track' button (I assume I must have done that by accident to start recording the route) but it just asked if I want to Continue, start a New Segment, or start a New Track. There was no option to just stop and/or delete the active one.

What did work, however, was the 'Clean Track' option in the Tracks/Routes section. The track has now disappeared and so I am more than happy. Maybe the phone's battery life will improve as well...;-)

Many thanks for your speedy reply and for your help. 

It appears that I am recording a track - there is a squiggly line with an arrow in the 'status bar' near the top left. If I look in the tracks list, select the track and try to delete it I get a message "Current track can not be deleted".

I've had this problem several times before and never managed to solve it. It causes immense frustration. On one occasion it recorded a track for two weeks before I noticed it - I wondered why my battery was running down faster than usual! Rebooting the phone did not help - it just continued to record the track when I switched it back on. Doh!

Other error messages I've had include one that says it can't delete an 'active track' so my question is how to either stop recording a track (if that's what's happening) or disable the track in some way so that I can delete it.

I know it sounds like a stupid question, but if anyone can help than it'd be much appreciated.
