Hey OjaiStephen,


It appears that you're having difficulties clearing Safari history on your iPad, and we're glad to provide assistance.


Use tabs in Safari on iPad - Apple Support -- If the advertisements are on tab, see if deleting the tab will remove them.


How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support -- Try force-quitting Safari then reopen to see if the advertisements are gone.


Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support -- If they remain, force-quit Safari if it's open, then follow the steps here to clear the history.


Feel free to get back to us with any questions or problems you may have.


All the best.
