Google Fit Delete dataSource?

Question

I've created an application which creates a weight data source. Unfortunately, I had a typo in my application such that the field name was incorrectly typed as "kg" instead of "weight":

  {
   "dataStreamId": "raw:com.google.weight:myappwhatever",
   "name": "Weight Feed",
   "type": "raw",
   "dataType": {
    "name": "com.google.weight",
    "field": [
     {
      "name": "kg",
      "format": "floatPoint"
     }
    ]
   }

While the REST API has an update method, it does not support changing the fields, and unfortunately the REST API does not have a delete method.

The impact of this problem is that on the Android the logs indicate:

Is there another way to update the field or to delete the data source?

For those in the future: There is currently no fix for this, but one is being worked on.

Google+ Link

From the link:

Thanks for the feedback and bug report!

There is currently no way to fix this, but it may be possible for us to correct it with a server-side fix, which usually has a faster turnaround time than a client side one (1-2 weeks).

I'll update this thread as soon as I get an update, or you can follow along in our bug tracker.

Public issue tracker [here] lists fix ETA as 1st April 2015.

While this link may answer the question, it is better to include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference. Link-only answers can become invalid if the linked page changes. – рüффп Mar 24 '15 at 23:30
@ruffp I disagree here. OP asked 'Is there a way" and Lucas answered 'No'. The link just adds peripheral info about a possible future change. – Terry Jan Reedy Mar 25 '15 at 00:16
Ok but what happens if the Google+ page disappear? it would be nicer to put a citation of the Google answer here... – рüффп Mar 25 '15 at 07:46
@ruffp I edited the response to include the info from G+ as well as the link to the public issue tracker. – Lucas Bannister Mar 25 '15 at 16:50
