Ipad reboot loop :<

Hi! My ipad 7 has been stuck in a reboot loop for the past ~3 hours. when i hold the home and power button for a while it brings me to the restore screen.

i believe this started because i deleted a 6gb file on my iphone storage called ios update i believe?(im not 100% sure that was the name but it was an update). Soon after that the loop started.

i plugged my ipad in and restored my ipad with my laptop and everything was working fine, it would reboot every once in a while, though. Then it went back to the reboot loop and restoring it wouldn't work...

so my question is, what do i do!! I absolutely cannot set my ipad. Reading online said that you can connect the ipad to a mac and fix it there? I dont have a mac computer, only windows but my school has imacs. Can they be used even though its not signed into my apple id?

sorry for the long post, thank you!!

Presumably your iPad indicates that it must be restored:

If you see the Restore screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

These support pages outline the available methods to restore an iPad - either from a backup, or to Factory Settings:

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup – Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support

Restore all content to iPad from a backup - Apple Support

You’ll need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).

Download and use iTunes for Windows – Apple Support

Update to the latest version of iTunes – Apple Support

Use of a PC or Mac computer is unavoidable. If you don’t have access to a suitable computer of your own, that of a helpful friend or family member will suffice. Alternatively, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be delighted to assist.
