My storage on my 6th gen iPad is almost full. 80% of it is the mysterious "Other" files. Will erasing my iPad and starting from new factory condition iPad erase those mysterious files or will they remain, even with a device reset?
Hello,
Please refer to the following Apple Support document.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
will erasing my iPad free up storage called "other"?
