Answer:

Step 2: Once opened, on the dashboard, click the App Timers.

This works for everything but the app that you leave there

Actually, you're right. However, back then this method actually works. I guess due to software updates the digital wellbeing app was also affected. As an alternative solution, currently, is to uninstall the app that was set to 00:00 and redownloaded it to deactivate the timer. Hope this helps 😄

I got stuck in a similar situation and was unable to delete it completely. Then, I found a stable solution. As mentioned by the author, first delete the apps from app timer and keep only one. Now, you can go to any other app's Details screen > Screen time from the app icon in the menu and then set a random screen time for that. Now, when you go back to the Digital wellbeing app, you'll see a View all link (as multiple individual app timers are set). Go to the details page and delete the timers individually.

I discovered this while setting timer for an individual app as my main intention is to give individual time to apps rather than grouping them into a single timer.

Best option!

Directly bove where your app timers are listed, click on the label "app timers" this opens the specific category. Once open, you can click and hold on any of the app timers to delete them.

You can also go to the information page of the digital wellbeing app and delete all it's data, it's the same steps as clearing the cache but instead of the cache you delete all the data. It does keep your screentime but refreshes everything else.

Go to Settings > go to the Search icon (magnifying glass) top right > key in "App timers" > click the search result under Digital Well Being > you'll see the list of Apps with timers > click the three dots top right > click delete > delete the App you want. Not sure why you can't do this straight from the Digital Wellbeing dashboard. Please take this feedback Samsung...
