deleting game/app data from cloud.

Hey all! I'm trying to delete all game data ( 1 particular game) from my ipad to start a new game. I can't find the game data anywhere in my cloud/deleted apps/backups, but when I go to app store, the game shows its stored in my cloud. It always reloads the game data that I'm trying to discard. Can I delete a game app's data, if I can't it anywhere on my device or icloud storage, or in files? The old game is waiting in cloud at app store, no matter what I've tried.. 😑

The old game as you put it, will always be the game that you can download from iCloud. The game is in your purchase history and when you download it again, it is downloaded from that history.


It could be that the game saves and data are saved on a server by the game developer itself and not through the data saved in your backups. Have you contacted the app developer to see how the game data is saved?
