Media storage taking up all of my iPad space

Does anyone know how to delete media on my iPad? It’s taking up two thirds of the space on my iPad - I can see I have songs on there but music does not appear on my general settings and there are no downloaded files to delete - I have off loaded all unused apps all photos are in the cloud and I even deleted iTunes to no avail! I cannot seem to access the media that is hiding somewhere on there - any ideas ?

iPad, iPadOS 14

Any downloaded or synchronised media associated with the native Music App can be selectively deleted from iPad Settings:

Settings > General > iPad Storage > Music


From the App properties page, scroll down to see individual media titles - then tap. To delete, tap the Edit button at top-right; tap the associated red “-“ button.


For other media, without more information about how and where the media was sourced, or synchronised from, it’s difficult to provide explicit guidance. Clearly, media associated with individual media Apps can be deleted in their entirety by deleting the App.
