Q: Deleting Music From iPad
To free up storage on my iPad mini, I deleted all my music from it using this method:
-SETTINGS
-GENERAL
-STORAGE AND ICLOUD USAGE
-MANAGE STORAGE
This brought up a list of my apps and the storage each had. "MUSIC" was at the top of my list indicating that it was the app taking up the most storage. I tapped "MUSIC" and deleted all the songs. However, they are still on my iPad.
I have multiple devices on the same wireless network...could it be that the music on those devices (iPad 2, iPod Touch 5, iPod Nano, iPhone 4s; the same music was still on those) did some kind of automatic sync?
But there is this: In MANAGE STORAGE one song is listed. But when I tap the MUSIC icon/app on the home screen, the entire music library that I deleted is still there and I have no more storage space on my iPad now than I did before taking action to free it up. Do I have to go into MUSIC from the home screen and delete them one-by-one? And why is only one song appearing in MANAGE STORAGE, with no option to delete it?
iPad 2, iOS 8.4.1
