Q: I'm using iTunes Match and cloud to save space on my iPad. It is now full and it is mostly music data that is filling it. What can I do to free up space?

What can I do to free up space? Is this Match saving songs I've listened to on this device? Can I just delete the music data?

    Yes.  It will save songs as they're played.  At some point, older songs will start being removed to make room for new ones as they're played.  Exactly when this happens isn't documented.  If you want to free up the space now, you can delete all the music by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

    I have a huge library of 24,000 songs and last time I tried my ipad didn't have room to even browse.
