Safari Documents and Data

Sorry, as you can tell from my frustration no one seems to have answer. Yes, what you say clears website data,, which on my iPad is nil, but not Documents and Data. In fact I’m pretty sure no one really knows what this is.

if you go back a couple of years this discussion was full of people some with 12gb of Documents and Data. I read all these, but no answers. The discussion seemed to fade as people, probably like me live with the problem.

Interesting. I do have pages saved to Reading List. Didn’t think it would amount to that kind of storage, but I’ll delete some and see if it makes a difference. Thanks. First time anyone mentioned this

Deleted most of my reading list, restarted iPad - it took a while to load iPad storage, but Safari Documents and Data still at 5.2gb, so no difference. sorry. Maybe it’s just “stuck” on that number and it doesn’t mean anything. iPad functions okay, although since ios15 it does need its memory refreshed quite often, but hey that’s another story.

many thanks to all

as I said earlier, I had no idea about this, first time I’ve read anything about the Reading List, so will check today, if I delete some saves.
