Whiles updating my IPAD, i accidentally went to factory reset and lost all data on the IPAD. I had no back up I can restore it from. Is there a way i can retrieve all these data from my IPAD?

Unless you have an existing iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPad, your locally stored data will have been irretrievably lost when your Factory Reset your iPad.


iOS/iPadOS use an encrypted file system. If the iPad is reset, the iPad destroys the cryptographic keys that allows access to the locally stored data. This is known as a crypto-erase - from which there is no return.


If you use iCloud, some information (e.g, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders etc.) may still be held in iCloud. However, without an iCloud backup, this will at best represent an incomplete dataset.
