How to delete app data?
I have tried multiple things to delete the app data, but it just wont delete. Everytime I reinstall the app, the data is back and it wont go away. And deleting the app data in the setting does not do the trick.

Hey La_Voijtur,
When reinstalling a deleted app, some of the data would be placed back on your iPad. Also, not all apps allow you to delete the associated data without deleting the app. Those details and more can be found under "Use your device to check its storage" here: How to check the storage on your iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
Use your device to check its storage
1. Go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage. You might see a list of recommendations for optimizing your device's storage, followed by a list of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses.
2. Tap an app's name for more information about its storage. Cached data and temporary data might not be counted as usage.
In the detailed view you can:
• Offload the app, which frees up storage used by the app, but keeps its documents and data.
• Delete the app, which removes the app and its related data.
• Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of its documents and data.
If your device is almost full and can't free up space, you might get a Storage Almost Full alert. If you see this alert, you should check the storage recommendations or you need to offload some less-used content like videos and apps.
If that information doesn't help, let us know more:
- Since menu options can vary, which software version is installed in Settings > General > About?
- Which app is this happening with, and does it seem to happen with other apps too?
Keep us posted.
Take care!
