“I am trying to update my iPad to iOS 10.3.2. The update needs more storage and I have deleted almost everything from my iPad to release more storage space. But the used storage is 11.2GB and I can’t understand how I’ve used so much. Please help, any advice to clear iPad storage is appreciated!”
iPad Storage is full? Don’t know what on earth takes up so much storage? Go to Settings – General – Usage & iCloud Usage – Manage Storage on your iPad. There you will see how much each app takes up including photos, music, etc. when you are running out of iPad storage space, there are lots of things you can do to quickly free up some space. Read the following small tutorial to learn the tricks and tips.
1. Clear Safari Caches
Safari like other web browsers stores each page visit to a data cache in order to speed up loading time of the pages you’ve already visited. Generally speaking, periodically clearing the cache removes useless data without impacting your web experience too negatively. So it is not bad to clear cache in Safari from time to time.
2. Delete Photos, Videos and Music
Media files may take up large storage space. I suggest you can transfer those files to your computer or somewhere else for backup and remove them from your iPad to release more space. But pay attention that the Photos app will automatically saves images in a Recently Deleted folder that clears after 30 days. So go to Photos – Albums – Recently Deleted and from there, delete the photos as well.
3. Delete Apps That You Seldom Use
You are recommended to delete apps that you rarely use. Navigate to the home screen, tapping and holding on the app icon, then wait for it to start jiggling. After that, tap on the X in the left corner to delete the app.
4. Manage iPad Storage with iPad cleaner
It is preferable to clear up your iPad storage within just a few clicks, rather than deleting iPad files section by section. Here we will introduce such an efficient iPad storage cleaner to help you wipe off all caches, junks files, etc from your iPad within clicks. Let’s get started.
Free download and install FoneEraser for iOS onto your computer and then it will launch automatically once it finished.
Plug your iPad to the computer via USB cable, and enter passcode on your device if it is locked. Tab Trust on device for iOS 7 or higher version.
The software will soon detect your iPad, if not, click the icon right behind Failed.
Select an erasing level (Low, Medium or High). High Level is recommended here.
After your device is connected, click the Start button to begin erasing and then click Yes to confirm the procedure.
Wait for the erasing process to complete.
Kindly remind that, all your content and settings on your iPad will be erased thoroughly and permanently after the process is finished. Everything can’t be recovered forever, so you’d better back up your important data before wiping iPad.
