Hey! Is there any way of deleting documents and data from safari because it seems to be occupying a huge amount of space of my iPad’s storage?

Hi,


Okay, you can try to:

  • Turn off safari in iCloud, clear website and data, wait few hours/restart your iPhone, to see if it changes anything
  • Disable cookies in safari: settings/safari/block all cookies
  • Clear your reading list: safari/book icon/glasses icon/choose what to delete.

Hi,


To check if website data has been cleared, go to settings/safari/advanced/website data.

If there always are websites with a big amount of data, clear websites data from this setting page.

If there are no websites with a big amount of data, and it seems to be cleared, that means websites data has been cleared; if it’s the case, let your iPhone update your storage. To speed up the process, you can restart your iPhone.
