How to remove iCloud downloads from iPad

Hi Staynavytom,

When a file is deleted from one device, it is deleted from all devices signed into iCloud Drive.

If you'd like to see tweaks to this we'd recommend leaving feedback for Apple Support here: Feedback - iCloud - Apple

Take care.

Good afternoon Staynavytom,

How did you download files to your iPad? Did you use the Files app? If you used the Files app you have the option of saving files to the iPad or to iCloud Drive. If the files were saved to your iPad using the Files app, you can delete them.

Do you have iCloud Drive enabled on your iPad? If you have iCloud enabled on your iPad, you can't delete the files. You would have to turn iCloud Drive off on the iPad. Take a look at the resources below and reply to this thread with any additional questions you may have.

Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Change your iCloud settings

Take care.
