For iPad models with a Home button, try/do a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.


OR


For much newer design iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset procedure for the new 2018/2020/2021 iPad Pros, 2020 iPad Air 4 and 2021 iPad Mini 6 models.


1. Press and release the volume up button.


2. Then immediately press and release the volume down button.


3. Then, press and hold the single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.


Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018 iPad Pro will boot up completely to the iPad Pro’s Lock screen.

The capacity of my iPad is 256GB, with 167.57GB available. I was wondering — if delete the Books app and reload it from the App Store, will I lose all of the documents and books I have stored there? Books is turned “on” in iCloud backups and I have plenty of iCloud storage available. Last backup was early this morning.


Thanks again for trying to help me.

If you delete the Books app, the data stored in that app will be deleted, as well.

I am not sure what is saved in iCloud from the Books app.

If you have a full iCloud back up and the Books app has been backing up to iCloud, you should be able to delete the Books app and re-install the Books app and restore the Books data from an iCloud backup.



Best of Luck to You!
