Erase all content progress bar

Trying to erase all content on my ipad (8th gen). I backed up my iPad to iCloud before (my backup hasn’t expired yet). It asks me to backup my iPad again before erasing. The only problem is that it is stuck on one minute and doesn’t move. I let it sit like this overnight and nothing happened. Does anyone know what to do?

iPad, iPadOS 15

Hello Ejrund,


This page here can help provide some assistance for issues with backing up to iCloud: If you can't back up to iCloud - Apple Support


If possible, try connecting the device to a different, reliable Wi-Fi network. This can just help to rule out any conflicts between the current one and the iPad.


You may also check out the "If your iCloud backup is taking longer than expected to complete" section of the above link, which helps to note the following:

Leave your device connected to power and Wi-Fi for 24 hours. If your backup still isn't done, archive important data then contact Apple Support



Cheers.
