Way 4: How to Delete Multiple Apps on iPad by Offloading Apps

When you offload an app from your iPad/iPhone, it isn't completely deleted. offloading preserves the app's essential documents and data, unlike a complete deletion, which removes all associated data.

After offloading, if you decide to reinstall the app later, your saved data will be restored. You can enable automatic app offloading on your iPad to help free up storage space by following these steps:

  • Open your iPad or iPhone and go to "Settings" > "General" > "iPhone/iPad Storage."
  • Select the app you want to uninstall.
  • Tap "Offload Apps."
