Hi Gatorpresley,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We may need some more details in order to provide the best resources. However, since it looks like you just reviewed an Apple ID article and mentioned deleting a device, you may be trying to erase or remove your iPad from iCloud. Right?


If you have the iPad in hand and want to erase it, the following guidance from How to factory reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support can help.

1. Tap Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device]
Then tap Erase All Content and Settings. 
   
2. If asked, enter your passcode or Apple ID password
Then confirm that you want to erase your device. Forgot your passcode or Apple ID password?
 
3. Wait for your device to erase
Depending on your device, it can take a few minutes to completely erase your data. 

 If you don't have the iPad in hand, you can remove it from iCloud using the following guidance which is from Remove a device from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com - Apple Support.

1. Turn off the device, or put AirPods in their case. The device must be offline before you can remove it from the Devices list.
2. In Find My iPhone on iCloud.com, click All Devices, then select the device you want to remove.
If you don’t see All Devices, it’s because you’ve already selected a device. Click the name of the current device in the center of the toolbar to see the Devices list, then select a new device.
3. Click Remove from Account.

If this isn't quite what you're looking for, let us know what it is that you're trying to do and we'll go from there.


Best wishes.
