For iPad models with a Home button, 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 button closest to the top Power button
2. Then immediately press and release the volume button farthest from the top Power 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.
If the app/s you have this data stored in has any type of trash location, check this location.
Did you ever back up the data on this iPad to Apple iCloud or to a full computer, like a Mac or Windows PC?
iOS/iPadOS device are still computers in a smaller form factor.
Data still needs to be regularly managed in order to preserve that data for the long term.
If you have never backed up the data, in this iPad, all the time you have owned and used this iPad, then this data maybe gone forever.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
