I would like to clear-out/erase my information on an older iPad to give to someone else. I already have another iPad that has retained most of its contents (contacts etc.). Both are linked to an iPhone and iCloud.
Am I correct- if I start erasing items individually from apps, photos, contacts, that I will lose them in the cloud but if I reset the device I will not lose photos and information?
Thanks.

Hi Blue Gatto,
It sounds like you're going to give your iPad to someone else and would like to know what to do beforehand.. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some assistance.
Let's follow all of the advice in What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The recommendations in that link provide the best and most complete information for how you should go about getting your device ready to transfer to another person.
We hope that helps with your question and take care!
yes, this article answers my question, thank you:
"You shouldn't manually delete your contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photos, or any other iCloud information while you're signed in to iCloud with your Apple ID. This would delete your content from the iCloud servers and any of your devices signed into iCloud."
Hi karina,
Thanks for the link. I'll check that out.
