Apple Music on iPad

Hello!

So when i got my new iPad 7 it uploaded all of the data backed up from my current iPhone. This included all of my apple music which is a very large amount and I only have a 32GB iPad. So my iPad storage was full with 17GB of the music that i have downloaded. I tried to delete through music in the settings and it would just freeze and not delete it. And i tried through the app and the music would do the same thing. I then deleted the actual app and it actually deleted. But the thing is that my iPad is still showing that i have 17GB of music and my storage is full :( i restarted my iPad and it didn’t help.

please offer any helpful suggestions and comments, thank you!

(i have the newest iPad 7 but it wasn’t on the list so i just selected 6th gen)

When you 'deleted' the music app, it is only offloading the app, not the data. To get the app back, search for it on the App Store.

You can try resetting the device settings - Settings-General-Reset-Reset All Settings

And are you using Apple Music? If so, you can turn on Cloud Music Library on your iPhone under Settings-Music-Cloud Music Library so all your music goes to the cloud (you may need to buy iCloud Storage). But this way, the music stays in the cloud and not on your device, so you'll have more free space:)

Hello,

Try resetting iPad's settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. Be certain you do not select Erase All Content and Settings as this will erase all of your information. It is a good idea to perform a backup of your iPad prior to resetting its settings.
